It is difficult to maintain an overview between the activities of Mercedes and Farasis.
Mercedes is said to be involved and Markus Schäfer is on the supervisory board of Farasis.
I can't confirm that.



Mercedes was or is not satisfied with the required quality of the batteries.
The planning of plants in Germany seems to have been stopped at the moment.
My assessment:China batteries in Mercedes, could result in problems with exports to the USA.

" The plant in Turkey will be at the heart of a reorientated strategy for Farasis in Europe. In 2019, the company originally announced plans to build a gigafactory in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, in eastern Germany. Mercedes-Benz was set to be an anchor customer, taking a 3% equity stake in Farasis and a seat on its supervisory board. However, Farasis eventually pivoted away from the German plant project, citing higher demand and partnerships in new areas, which led to the shift in its localisation strategy. Today, Mercedes-Benz remains a key Farasis customer for certain high-performance cells – Farasis has supplied more than 70,000 batteries to it globally – but the carmaker has diversified its battery partnership, including its Automotive Cell Company battery cell JV with Stellantis and Total with plants planned in Germany, France and Italy, as well as a large contract with CATL for its upcoming factory in Hungary, and an agreement with AESC to supply cells for battery production in the US.
