German producer announced that by the end of the year, it will ban the sale of the B-grade class model.

The production of this automobile will be completed a little earlier, during the third quarter of 2017, while Mercedes will focus on the development of the new generation of electric automobiles, Autonews broadcast.

The Mercedes's B Electric Drive class began production in 2014. Unlike the BMW, which its third developed as a fully new model, the company from Stuttgart has approached the problem in a practical way.

The engine has 180 horsepower power, which allows this Mercedes B-class speed of between 0 and 100 km an hour to reach 7.9 seconds.

Maximum speed has been limited to 160km per hour so that the vehicle can have autonomy as much as possible in driving, Kosovo Press broadcasts.

Mercedes had expected this model to mark good US sales results, but for three years it has sold only 3,651 automobiles in this country.
