For several years, KIRCHHOFF Automotive has produced the cross member for the entire volume of the Mercedes-Benz Vito and V-Class at our plant in Ovar, Portugal. Now our Chinese plant in Suzhou has successfully implemented the relocation of the volumes for the Chinese market. The welded assembly consists of a cross car beam, a welded knee console and a formed mounting plate. In close cooperation with the customer on site, our team was able to shorten the start of production and save costs.
