BMW is testing electric motors
Just ten months after the start of the plant construction, the time had come in mid-November: the first electric motor left the BMW Group plant in Steyr for the BMW Group's new automobile plant in Debrecen, Hungary, to be used in test vehicles there. "Our plant in Steyr has been delivering the first sixth-generation electric motors to the headquarters in Munich since September for intensive testing. We have recently also been sending electric motors directly to our new factory in Debrecen, where they are installed in test vehicles," explains the managing director of the BMW Group plant in Steyr and head of the BMW Group's global drive production, Klaus von Moltke. The Steyr plant began producing the first next-generation electric motors three months ago. Helmut Hochsteiner, head of electric motor production at the BMW Group plant in Steyr, gives an outlook on the near future: “In the coming months, we will continue to validate and optimize the complex production process for the new electric motors and are thus gradually approaching our goal of series production in the third quarter of 2025.”
