# Mercedes-Benz GLC electric: international launches and US production delay

> Mercedes-Benz continues the international rollout of the electric GLC, first presented in Japan and launched in India, where it is locally assembled in Chakan using imported kits. Belgian press published a test drive, and reactions in Germany were positive on social media, while South Korea recorded nearly 1,300 pre-orders for the electric CLA and GLC. In the United States, Mercedes-Benz delayed the start of assembly at Vance, Alabama, to May 2030, extending reliance on imports and tariffs. Situations thus differ by market: launch and local assembly in India, first presentation in Japan, pre-orders in South Korea, test drive in Belgium, and production delay in the US.

## Background

_Context and reference points, separate from the story’s news; every item links to its source._

**Key terms**

- **Automotive Platform**: The basic structure of a vehicle, generally composed of the load-bearing structure (chassis), powertrain, and running gear, possibly including adjacent equipment items; vehicles built on the same platform share track width and wheelbase, while bodywork and overhangs can be modified. ([Wikipédia](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateforme_%28v%C3%A9hicule%29))
- **WLTP Range**: Electric range measured according to the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a homologation standard that allows measurement of fuel consumption, electric range, and CO2 and pollutant emissions; it came into effect in Europe in September 2017 for new models and in September 2018 for all new vehicles. ([Wikipédia](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proc%C3%A9dure_d%27essai_mondiale_harmonis%C3%A9e_pour_les_v%C3%A9hicules_l%C3%A9gers))
- **Customs Duties**: Tax levied on goods to be imported as soon as they cross the border of another country; it can be fixed-rate or represent a percentage of the price ('ad valorem' duty) and is one of the main instruments of protectionism. ([Wikipédia](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droit_de_douane))
- **Complete Knock Down (CKD) Assembly**: The term Complete Knock Down (CKD) refers to all the spare parts needed to fully assemble a vehicle; this common practice among car manufacturers involves selling such kits to their foreign subsidiaries, notably to avoid paying higher import taxes on finished products. ([Wikipédia](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_Knock_Down))
