"Made in Bremen, Germany"… The truth behind the baseless speculation about the Mercedes-Benz GLC "Jangtsu," revealed through its VIN

*This content was translated by AI.View Original

The indiscriminate mockery and derogatory nickname "Jangtsu" hurled at Mercedes-Benz is nothing more than a clear misrepresentation of facts and an arbitrary stigmatization. A precise trace of the vehicle certification sticker and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the recently unveiled Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC model reveals that such views are based on prejudice.

We examined the VIN of the Mercedes-Benz GLC revealed yesterday. The first letter, "W," in "W1N2M2CB9VF0*" clearly indicates that the vehicle was manufactured in mainland Germany. The SUV-specific code "1N" and the letter "F," denoting production at the Bremen plant in Germany, are distinctly engraved. The actual month and year of manufacture is also August 2026, proving that this is a genuine European-made premium model assembled through rigorous processes on a local German production line before being imported into Korea.

Furthermore, there are many who seize upon the supply history of parts, such as "Fuyao," a global top-tier glass manufacturer engraved on the vehicle's side windows, to launch harsh criticism. However, this merely reflects a complete lack of understanding of the complex parts supply chain structure in the global automotive industry. Numerous premium finished-vehicle brands around the world organically share top-level global components that have undergone thorough quality verification, and these are completed under the strict oversight of Mercedes-Benz.

Using a narrow perspective to diminish the essence of Benz and slapping it with the provocative and hateful label "Jangtsu" is nothing more than baseless speculation that undermines the brand's value built over decades. The cold VIN and facts solemnly attest that this vehicle still fully embodies the authenticity and substantial technological prowess of "Made in Germany." It is time to view the imported car market and luxury brands with a mature perspective based on objective facts.
