Read MoreHide Full Article
Magna International, Inc. (MGA - Free Report) announced that it is supporting the production of the new Mercedes-Benz G-Class via contract manufacturing. The model will be assembled at Magna International’s Graz, Austria facility.
Per management, this contract manufacturing of the updated Mercedes-Benz G-Class will enable the company to display its capability and flexibility as an experienced contract manufacturing partner.
As a highly regarded and famous off-road vehicle brand, this new G-Class has been upgraded with additional technology and space in its interiors.
Notably, for the past 40 years, the G-Class models were built at the Graz facility, at first under the flag of Steyr-Daimler-Puch and since 1988, under Magna International. Moreover, since the beginning of its production at the Graz facility, more than 300,000 units have been produced. Further, the collaboration between Daimler and Magna International, which started in 2014, will run through 2023.
The company’s Graz facility has been winning many new business contracts. Prior to this in July 2017, it received a contract to produce Jaguar’s E-PACE model. While in June 2017, the company won a contract manufacturing from BMW, under which, it will manufacture new 530e plug-in hybrid model for BMW.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
