The Vito is built at the Daimler plant in Vitoria. Situated in the heart of the Basque region in north-west Spain, operational plant surface area has now been more than doubled to around 600,000 square metres. The primary changes to the refurbished site include the new hall for the final assembly process covering a surface area of 83,000 square metres and the supplier park (I-Park) measuring 21,000 square metres in size. In addition to this, the paint shop has undergone major expansion and a new building housing the administrative offices has been built.



The now ultra-modern Daimler plant in Vitoria dates from the early 1950s. Now, only the architectural styling of the old office building recalls the times when the DKW 800 S van series used to be built in Spain. Following a period when both Daimler-Benz AG, as it was at the time, and Volkswagen held a stake in the plant, Daimler AG, as it is now, assumed full ownership of the site in 1976.



Most recently, it was the old V-Class and Vito models which rolled off the assembly lines here, with production of the two reaching a peak of around 90,000 units in 2001. The Vitoria plant has over 3,500 employees on its payroll, making Daimler the largest employer in this city of 250,000 inhabitants.
