The Mercedes-Benz EQBs for the Chinese market are manufactured at the Beijing Benz plant in China. Mercedes Benz-EQBs sold outside of China are manufactured at the Mercedes-Benz Kecskemet plant in Hungary, unlike the non-Chinese market fossil-fuel powered GLBs, which are manufactured at Daimler AG-Nissan joint venture COMPAS plant in Mexico.^[4] The global EQB was initially intended to be manufactured in the Smartville factory (Hambach, France), but this plan was cancelled following the sale of this plant to Ineos.^[5]

Sales of the Mercedes-Benz EQB began in late 2021 in China and Europe. Sales of EQB began in 2022 in other markets outside of China and Europe.^[6][7]
