Mercedes will get rid of two models and complete a long -term partnership

The Automobilwoche portal found out: 2026 will be the last for the Citan and T-Class families, as well as their electric counterparts. Mercedes-Benz will complete a long-term partnership with Renault in the commercial transport segment and inexpensive entry-level models. The company representative confirmed Reuters that the insiders were not mistaken – the Life cycle of “Kablukov” is coming to an end.

The Mercedes-Benz Vans division is focused on growth in profitable segments, so the optimization of the grocery portfolio will continue, the German company said. The priority is medium -sized and large -sized vans, and small -sized commercial models will disappear from the gamut next year. According to insiders, the assembly will end in mid -2026.

Mercedes-Benz Citan/Ecitan and T-Class/EQT-relatively fresh models. The fuel versions debuted in 2021 and 2022, electric ones later, and finally, the gamma was formed only in June last year. However, independent development is not: “heels” are derived from Renault Kangoo and are produced at the French factory. The new partner Mercedes-Benz will be Geely.

The Mercedes-Benz brand options were predictably more than Renault, and sales leave much to be desired. Earlier, for the same reasons, the X-Class Pickup project failed five years ago: customers preferred the source option under the Nissan brand, and even a version with the original Mercedes-Benz diesel engine did not save the situation. In the case of Citan/T-Class, there are no technical differences from Renault Kangoo.
