BMW Group is advancing into a new era of electric mobility with the launch of its sixth-generation high-voltage batteries. The company is establishing five new battery assembly centers across three continents as part of its “local for local” strategy, ensuring that battery production is closely integrated with vehicle manufacturing, enhancing production resilience, and reducing carbon footprint. The new assembly plants are being built in Irlbach-Strasskirchen (Germany), Debrecen (Hungary), Shenyang (China), San Luis Potosí (Mexico), and Woodruff (USA). The Debrecen facility will start producing the first Neue Klasse vehicles in 2025, featuring advanced cylindrical cells with better energy density and faster charging times. The Irlbach-Strasskirchen site will supply high-voltage batteries to local car manufacturing plants, with rapid progress in construction. The Shenyang plant, supported by BMW Brilliance Automotive and a robust R&D network, will commence production in 2026. BMW’s competence centers in Parsdorf and Munich are already producing prototype battery cells, ensuring smooth integration into future models. This global expansion highlights BMW’s commitment to sustainable and efficient electric vehicle production. #SupplyChain #BMW #Batteries #Logistics
