- Exceptional Engineering: World´s Biggest Truck Factory
With more than 11,000 employees, the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth is the largest truck factory in the world. Every day more than 400 fully roadworthy trucks run off the line here. From Wörth am Rhein they are exported all over the world - sometimes even via the factory-owned container port. The report accompanies the development of a Tractor Actros - from the first drawings of the designers, the work steps in the engine plant in Mannheim to the final assembly of the truck in Wörth.

It’s just nice to be able to watch something interesting. No garbage or sponsors/an agenda. Just pure info
Yeah these Exceptional Engineering document series are great! I've watched them all. There is always an agenda though. I'm not saying they don't deserve a praise, but here they promote German engineering and production capability. I don't mind it and it's not agressive but it's visible nonetheless.
It's amazing to see such dedication, genius and drive in one huge assembly line.
Super cool! No drama, even better. I'm surprised there wasn't a time dilemma and some supervisor job on the line... Stupid documentaries are getting old. This was awesome, just explaining the process. Good job for once.
What an amazing process to make trucks in a perfect way which I personally appreciate them for doing their jobs excellently!
Extremely meticulous, thorough and efficient. Unbelievable precision!!! Wow!!!
It's just nice to be able to watch

Wow, love that coating on the engines!
It looks poorly executed to me I dont know why
Excellent video.
Thank you.
What a serious case of OCD. And well done!
Yeah, it's like Japanese-level OCD. . .and that's saying something. Very impressive.
Incredibly clean and efficient
I really wish the US would put this much care into building products like this again
Tesla will put them all out of business.
Martin Zitter I'm still waiting...
Again? I'm waiting for them to do it the first time. US manufacturers have always put profits over quality and that hasn't changed, now other manufacturers from around the world are following in the profits over quality model. Look at Mercedes Benz, ownership of Chrysler taught them how to produce the cheapest crap possible and to hell with consumers. Nissan got the same lesson from Renault that was also a Chrysler partner, there isn't the desire to keep quality up.
What did they show here that’s unique or novel? This is exceptionally common for how any mass produced vehicle is made anywhere in the world, including the US.
Phillip Kuntze go buy yourself a Mercedes with 50,000 miles on it and experience everything breaking on the car. Fixing anything cost double of fixing the same thing on an American car. BMWs and Mercedes are prone to electrical system problems as well with moderate mileage on them. Been there, done that. American car quality is at an all time high.
I just wonder how greatly everything works together to make a huge and beautiful truck which sounds to me like an amazing Art job !
What an awesome documentary hard to believe that they can do that and get it right so many pieces awesome
Nice to see Black Sabbath providing documentary music.
I worked and retired from a Freightliner truck plant. We are a sister company of Mercedes under the parent company Daimler. 25 years of building trucks. I miss it everyday.
That's fookin amazing!
THE DEFENSE TRULY SHINE DURING THE ENTIRE PROCESS... very good lawyers.
I'll give them this, they got a solid soundtrack...
A weird mix of classic rock and movie soundtracks...somehow it works.
this Chanel should have billions subscriptions,
informative 'n educational 'n entertaining … the logistics of the assembly/ production are staggering. audio cutout from 34:04 - 35:09 … thanks for the documentary.
By watching those two videos form Volvo Trucks and Mercedes Trucks head to head, you can clearly define the differences in engineering philosophy. Everyone is unique for a reason. Nice to watch both, while they are making the way by which the products carried all over the Europe and entire world.
Amazing technology
This is beautiful! It’s like a piece of art in watching it with popcorns 🍿
Impressive precision
A pretty impressive factory to say the least. German engineering at it's finest. Those truck cabs are the tallest I've seen.
Awesome factory
love the maiden!
Which one? 38:17 or 39:50? :D
Amazing Documentary!!!!!!
Precision everywhere!!- well, except for the ceiling fan at 8:20
Amazing you noticed that! It does seem to be out of balance.
what a catch .. :-)
lol
Are you part of the background watcher group?
Lmao
TIME ELEMENT ... from the first truck it rolled out on its early production until to this point in time, the word capitalized above are well defined as time goes by or i should say the productions time was in it's finest to waste no time ... for TIME is GOLD was truly defined ... guten morgen
You are going to deliver this thing to doorstep, wow 😱😱
It's late at night and I am watching it 😀
I've been there. Simply amazing!
Cool!
Germans are Wunderbar ! Well done
Great.
Good choice of background music.
It took some very smart people to workout organise the complete layout of this truck factory amazing must have taken years of trial and error
Looking forward great 👍 truck
Amazing!
Wow amazing
İt was realy amazing, and seeing knowloge how to do that progress of a hundred year was admired me.
that factory is the most advanced,most efficient high tech places i have ever seen Mercedes has always built high quality cars and trucks.
I subscribed because of the background music 🤘
unbelievably precise but still not good enough without us mechanics to diagnose and fix the trouble boxes. engineers if you are reading- SIMPLE ENGINEERING IS ALWAYS THE BEST ENGINEERING.
The paint inspection lady is gorgeous :-)
Pretty cool.
Excellent product , prolific production capabilities . Benz had always meant reliability and comfort
Since the mass production of cars . 👌👍
Interesting fact: Ford wasn't focused solely on manufacturing vehicles. He was focused on changing and evolving the manufacturing industry for decades to come. Proud he would be.
Vote it up, nice video clip, thank you for sharing it :)
I saw several clips in this video that was in the Volvo truck build video.
The genius people. Incredible technology. I can't imagine the world without of Germany end without of Mercedes
Awesome video.👍
Great work 👌👌👌
Good doco :) Also blows my mind the amount of holes in the chassis, you know if you took your own truck to get certified with that many holes it would never get road legal....science and engineering still get me everytime
Manufacturers do a lot of testing and have many years experience, so they tend to be more trusted than a backyard mechanic.
Truck checking lady 😍
stay away from the factory women! she packed with stds guaranteeed
I've never seen one of these trucks in the United States.
They look like really nice trucks.
They like Peterbilt, Mack or Kenworth trucks with big cabs, lots of lights and lots of chrome in the USA. They're kind of like the Harley-Davidson or Triumph of semi trucks!
Very good

Mercedes...🤘
@23:57 Glad to note that I use the same brand of monitor as do Mercedes Benz at their very sophisticated plant.
proud..my actros....still serve....now over 1M Km..on odometer.....and running strong....2640 MP3
if i hear "as if by magic" one more time from the narrator.....
El Tigre 5 more years coming right up!
I love the fact that they used the soundtrack from "The Rock".
A little Ozzy Osbourne.
A lil Black Sabbath never hurt anybody
"Aces High" at about 40:00
good videos.
Just look at all of those speed holes
The massive tow vehicles that tow busses use Goodyear tires too in Germany.
The engines that are made in Mannheim are also used in Freightliner trucks here in America.
Would that include the Detroit variations and also the upgraded engines that start at 400hp?
They are rebranded as Detroit diesel in North America. They are also built in Detroit Michigan. I work in them at Freightliner dealer and I like them a lot. As long as you do proper maintenance they last a long time.
I think they changed it. I think PACCOR engines are in the Cascadia models.
@@black10872 No paccar engines are only in Kenworth and Peterbuilt trucks. Freightliner/Westernstar is owned by Daimler so they us Mercedes engines and some Cummins.
@@dieselgaint Yep and the 60 series is still the most reliable engine i have ever seen and worked on. Mercedes Benz would have been smart to keep a lot of that architecture, But they know more and i work on these new engines more than anything else. severe turbo oil feed issues so far.
I need this truck.
American Companies work in quarters, not long term. Even IF they say they have a "long term strategy", they don't. That is just a wish list if things keep going well. Asian and most European companies look very long term and understand that quarterly earnings are a bad way to measure any companies success or failure. Styx song "The Grand Illusion" has a line "America spells competition" and that is 100% true. We are in competition with quarterly earnings 4 times a year. Sad but it's how we do business in our market economy. There is no rule that says companies must do this, they choose to because it's easier to run a short sprint vs a long distance marathon.
True, and very apt Styx reference.
Asian and European companies look long term yeah no they dont. They are trying to ban engines for no logical purpose sounds like very short term thinking when engines have never damaged the damn environment more than electricity.
Lll lol ppppp0pp00p00pp0pp00pppp
@2:40 the good old days..... Safety 3rd💪🏼
38:18 im in love!
She is pretty isn't she?
Awwwww!!!!
Son unos genios bergas
Mix up the word
" So-called"
With........
" it's named"
" it's called" or
" kind of" or
" sort of"
Every once in awhile.
you'll get more thumbs up! 👍
A very good presentation. I wonder if nowadays film footages such as this is shown in university business schools. Back when I was in university business administration, they never bothered. They only showed you how to crunch the numbers. If business schools dont show film footages such as this nowadays, then all is I got to say is that university business schools are very short sighted.
Japanese and Germans make a great team, Genesis🏁.👍
These stuff is fascinating to me . . Mankind cre3these stuff. . Our small muscle like brain thought of these . . WOW .
Wait...is that a 3D printed crank case on the bottom of that engine?
E-Kote is what we called at the sister plant. Freightliner TMP, Mt. Holly, N.C. Now Daimler Trucks N.A. 25 years now retired.
Outstanting
43:17 wow an American working there. JK He stole all the donuts.
Who else is playing the "as if by magic" drinking game?
Where am I!? 🤪
42:11 Transformer's music is fitting
Thumb up for Paranoid... yeah \m/
Cool Legos
Built better than a Freightliner
I WANT ONE!!!
I want one, too. The one at 38:17!
Wow. This is what I could call a smart factory.. they make it look just easy peazy, building a big ass diesel Truck like this.. I just wonder, where the hell do all these Truck end up..??! I mean 400 trucks PER DAY?! that's like tens of thousands of trucks per month.. how the heck do they even sell that many trucks to create that much of a demand.. who's buying all these trucks ??!!?!?!
They must be selling them to third-world sh*tholes. The States don’t end up with them, but the crazy Russian dash cam videos are shot from behind the windshield of these things.
at 15:03 we didn't see any inserting of the piston rod bearings (O: oh, boy, let's repair something after the full assembly ? how about ordering "a lost bolt or nut?"
14:02 - wow there is a black guy working there... love from Africa..
Flipping A M A Z I N G !
They stopped using those cabover designs in the 70s and 80's for a good reason here in the US. It's too hard to get in and out of, and there just isn't enough space inside. I think they have those small roads in Europe and need the turning radius.
Mike Keith in Europe they are only allowed to be a certain length, so to maintain capacity in the trailer, the cab over design makes the most sense
I hope that the plastic Zip Ties used inside the Chassis to tie the wiring of the truck will not fail under extreme hot or cold temperatures or with time and vibrations
Zip ties will outlast any other component on any vehicle.
I'm guessing there employee parking lot are full of AMG Goodies. I'm sure everyone takes advantage of the emp discount
" If by Magic" Science is better than Magic.
Science isn't science anymore they wont prove shit anymore they just push rhetoric.
Henry Ford would be proud, eventhough they're not Ford's
What a crazy factory. I can do better though...hold my beer
Get er done
All these automation and build techniques make assembling the truck cheaper, yet every year consumers pay more and more. Hmmm
Their automation also includes the extraction of funds from YOUR wallet.
@Derek Charette You left out quite a bit. If everyone is so poor, why are they buying all these trucks? The fact is that for every industry that is automated, many more are created. Who makes the robots? Who designs them? Where does the materials come from? Who maintains the trucks? Maybe don't be so envious of the "filthy rich" and find a career that can make you rich. More people are getting rich everyday. You never will if you're just a victim.
The days of assembly line workers doing low skill repetitive tasks and expecting upper middle class wages are just about over. Education and retraining is the way forward. All these factories require massive numbers of highly skilled people to set them up and keep them working.
@@jaswats9645 First of all, not everyone has the arrogant peace of mind that you do.. Secondly, what do you do for a living, doc?
@@joshhutchison6201 "arrogant peace of mind " wtf is that? Do you mean the ability to be satisfied with what I have and not make myself miserable just because someone has more money than me?
A lot of fluff is mentioned but several facts omitted. For instance the PVC sealer fills every seam where spot welds or interrupted line welds leave an opening. The tightening of fasteners is shown but the tracking of most fasteners, not just the engine fasteners, will be tracked. If one is not correct then it is either flagged for later correction or is alerted for immediate action.
need better padding between the hoses,wires and cables and the frame... pain in the ass finding shorts and leaks after 200,000 miles of constant use
The music in this video is WAY too dramatic for truck assembly. It sounds like the music from the movie "The Rock".
thats fascinating but is that guy @ 31:55 really rocking grey sweat pants at work and in public???
