BMW Has Built 500,000 Electric Vehicles To Date In Dingolfing

BMW Group is happy to announce that 500,000th electrified BMW has left their production line at their plant in Dingolfing, Lower Bavaria, Germany.

With a highly digitalised, flexible set‑up for four fully electric models and five plug‑in hybrids, they have built electric vehicle to real demand whilst adapting to the different paces of electrification around the world.

Meanwhile, the new BMW electric vehicles need the latest powertrain and at the BMW Group Plant Steyr there is a major step into the automotive future: for the first time, fully electric drives will roll off the production lines at the longstanding facility.

Series production of sixth-generation electric engines for the BMW eDrive marks the dawn of a new era which is in technological, strategic and industry terms.

Plant Steyr is becoming the centrepiece of electromobility at the BMW Group. Comprehensively upgraded to produce electric drives, the facility is a symbol of our openness to different technologies, secure employment and regional value creation.

To ready the plant for the new electric engines, halls were erected, existing buildings modernised and processes re-engineered. About 1,000 employees will work in the new electric engine assembly, with potentially half of Steyr’s 4,900-strong workforce working in e-mobility over the medium term, depending on how the market develops.
