The BMW Group is launching production of battery components at its plants in Leipzig and Regensburg and expanding its e-drive production network.
It has been less than a year since the decision was made to expand production capacity for e-drives in Germany.
BMW Group Plant Leipzig will launch series production of battery modules on Monday, 3 May 2021, while BMW Group Plant Regensburg began coating battery cells for high-voltage batteries in April 2021.
High-voltage batteries will also be produced in Regensburg from 2022.
