Munich.\u00a0<\/strong>The BMW Group is speeding up the shift towards electromobility and strengthening its global network to produce electrified vehicles. The company is investing 400 million euros in a new vehicle assembly at the main plant in Munich and concentrating its European production activities for internal combustion engines at the Steyr and Hams Hall locations. \u201cWe are systematically implementing our electrification strategy. By the end of 2022, each of our German plants will be producing at least one fully electric vehicle,\u201d according to Milan Nedeljkovi\u0107, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dr.<\/a>
Dr. Milan Nedeljkovi\u0107, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The BMW Group has one of the automotive industry’s most flexible production systems worldwide. \u201cWe are capable of producing both vehicles with combustion engines and electric drive trains on a single line and responding flexibly to customer requests,\u201d said Nedeljkovi\u0107: \u201cThis is a crucial success factor.\u201d Nedeljkovi\u0107 has been in charge of the Production Division for just over a year. \u201cDuring the Covid-19 crisis, we have proved that we can respond swiftly and effectively to even highly volatile market developments and, at the same time, permanently improve our cost structure,\u201d underlined the Production head. \u201cThe progress made this year will reduce our fixed costs by about half a billion euros by the end of the coming year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction of new vehicle assembly at Plant Munich<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BMW Group is systematically gearing its main plant in Munich towards the future. Following the expansion of the body shop and construction of a new resource-efficient paint shop between 2016 and 2018, the company will be investing around 400 million euros in a new vehicle assembly between now and 2026. \u201cWe are continually developing Plant Munich towards electromobility and creating efficient and competitive production structures for this purpose,\u201d explained Nedeljkovi\u0107. \u201cThis decision signals our strong commitment to the Munich location.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manfred Schoch, Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Chairman of the European and General Works Council of BMW AG: \u201cThe decision to build a new assembly at our almost 100-year-old Munich plant shows that transformation can secure, and even create, industrial jobs in the heart of the city \u2013 if it is approached strategically, and with courage. This decision provides a model for a successful transformation in the German industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future assembly and its production processes will be designed for a new cluster architecture geared towards electric drive trains. Nedeljkovi\u0107: \u201cThis architecture will be in use from the middle of the decade. It will ramp up for the first time at our future plant in Debrecen, Hungary, before being rolled out across our global production network in stages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new assembly in Munich will be built on the site currently used for engine production. The combustion engines with four, six, eight and 12 cylinders produced there will be manufactured at the company\u2019s locations in Steyr in Austria and Hams Hall in the UK going forward. \u201cRestructuring our engine production network is a strategic move geared towards the future. We are also boosting our efficiency and optimising our capacity utilisation,\u201d explained Nedeljkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engine production will be relocated from Munich in stages by no later than 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The employees will work in different planning and production areas at the Munich location or other sites in Bavaria. At its Competence Centre for E-Drive Production in Dingolfing alone, the company will increase employee numbers from 1,000 currently to up to 2,000. \u201cThe transformation of our plants and securing future jobs go hand in hand,\u201d underlined Ilka Horstmeier, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Human Resources, concerning the upcoming structural changes in engine production. \u201cHere in Munich, we will prove once again that the BMW workforce can handle change. Our employees will receive intensive support and training throughout this process.\u201d More than 50,000 people at BMW Group have already been trained for electromobility since 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transformation towards electromobility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production network’s realignment is based on three priorities: transformation towards electromobility and digitalization; efficiency of processes and structures, and sustainability in production and logistics. The expansion of electromobility in the production network continues. Our Chinese plant in Dadong also began producing the BMW iX3* this year. \u201cBy the end of 2022, all German plants will have at least one fully-electric vehicle in their program,\u201d underlined Nedeljkovi\u0107. From next year, the BMW i4 and BMW iX* will come off the production lines in Munich and Dingolfing, respectively. Fully-electric variants of the new BMW 7 Series and the future BMW 5 Series are also ready to go in Dingolfing. Plant Regensburg will also start manufacturing the new BMW X1 in 2022, available both with a combustion engine and a fully-electric drive train. From 2023, BMW Group Plant Leipzig, which has built the iconic BMW i3* electric car since 2013, will produce the successor to the MINI Countryman, with a combustion engine and as a fully-electric variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"BMW_animation-new-vehicl\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the BMW Group is expanding its capacity for manufacturing electric drive trains. The company is investing in production equipment for highly integrated e-drives and high-voltage batteries at the Competence Centre for E-Drive Production in Dingolfing. The Leipzig and Regensburg locations are also currently setting up equipment for production of battery modules and high-voltage batteries from 2021. In parallel, the company is also increasing production capacity for e-drive housings at Plant Steyr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAllocating capacity in this way places a deliberate emphasis on the flexibility of our plants and makes them more efficient and more competitive. Long-term agreements with employee representatives also play an important part in this,\u201d added Nedeljkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability in production<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BMW Group has reduced resource consumption and CO2 emissions in vehicle production by 50 percent since 2006 \u2013 which is much more than other European manufacturers. Another 40 percent will reduce the amount of CO2 generated per vehicle from 2019 levels by 2025 and 80 percent by 2030. \u201cSustainability is a fundamental aspect of modern production,\u201d underlined Milan Nedeljkovi\u0107, adding: \u201cBy the end of this year, our plants worldwide will obtain their electricity exclusively, 100 percent, from renewable energy sources.\u201d To do so, they will take advantage of the best options at each location \u2013 from solar energy in Oxford, Mexico, and China, to biogas in South Africa to wind power in Leipzig.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to using renewable energies, water, solvent, gas, and electricity consumption will be further reduced in parallel. For example, the company is using data analytics to minimize machines\u2019 power consumption. The amount of waste per vehicle, is also continuously decreasing, making the BMW Group one of the world\u2019s most sustainable automotive manufacturers. The BMW Group\u2019s position as a sector leader in the \u201cAutomobiles\u201d category of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices World and Europe, announced just a few days ago, underlines this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
