December 18, Fineko/abc.az. German automaker Mercedes has begun serious staff reductions.

ABC.AZ reports the company is closing its plant in Brazil.

The reason for this is the difficult situation in Brazil, which has been going on for many years, and the problems caused by the pandemic, the company's Board of Directors informed.

"The pandemic has worsened the situation, and luxury car sales have plummeted. For this reason, we’ve decided to stop producing cars in Brazil," the company said.
