mercedes-benz proposed a plan to replace the g-class, which at the time had been in production for 11 years. a joint agreement with mitsubishi motors to develop and produce a sports-utility vehicle was made in early 1991 and was confirmed publicly that june. plans were made to base it on the montero/pajero platform, with one of them being badged as a mercedes-benz and the other a mitsubishi. in may 1992, these plans were abandoned citing "technical problems" and mercedes-benz continued on with in-house development from january 1993. in march 1993, a search for a location to build a u.s. manufacturing plant began. by september 1993, a location in the state of alabama was chosen and construction started in 1994. while plans were being made overseas, in germany development continued. design work took place from late 1992 to 1994. a design from mercedes' sindelfingen studio was chosen in 1993 and approved by the executive board in february 1994. the design patents were filed in germany on 13 july 1994, and in the u.s. on 13 january 1995. prototype testing started with test mules and crash tests using mock-ups in may 1994. first functional prototype's crash test took place in february 1995, with full testing run from march 1995 to december 1996 in various climates and regions of the world. pilot production began in may 1996. in july 1996, construction on the mercedes-benz u.s. international plant in vance, alabama concluded, with the very first production m-class rolling off the assembly line the week of 9 february 1997.
