BMW is continuing to expand e-mobility

The BMW Group has reached further important milestones in the expansion of e-mobility at its largest European production site in Dingolfing. In the past few weeks, a second production line for electric motors went into operation in the E-Drive Production Competence Center.

Production of high-voltage batteries for the latest generation of plug-in hybrids also began. This means that the Dingolfing component plant 02.20 now has capacity for the production of electric drives for over 500,000 vehicles annually.

In total, the factory is now equipped with 14 production lines for battery modules, high-voltage batteries and electric motors. A new production and logistics building is currently under construction, and a large high-bay warehouse costing several million euros is also needed. The BMW Group's investments in expanding e-component production at the site will amount to over 500 million euros between 2020 and the end of 2022.

“We see high customer demand for BMW electric models worldwide,” says Markus Fallböhmer, head of engine and electric drive production at the BMW Group. "We are therefore continuing to ramp up e-mobility and are continuing to expand our capacities in the global production network for e-drive components. Dingolfing plays a central role in this with the e-drive production competence center."
