Mercedes-Benz pauses orders for E-Class in this country. Know why
- It is being reported that Mercedes-Benz has stopped accepting orders for its E-Class sedan in Germany due to the global semiconductor shortage and the model's growing demand in the overseas market leading to an exhausted inventory.


Mercedes-Benz has reportedly stopped taking orders for its E-Class model in Germany. According to a report by Automobilwoche, the premium carmaker took this step from February 12.
