BMW has recently announced a 200 million euro investment to expand production capacity at its components plant in Landshut, Germany. The expansion will focus on producing the central housing for the electric powertrain of the Neue Klasse, which will increase annual capacity for fifth and sixth generation aluminum housings by about 30 percent. This means that BMW electric motors used in current model series such as iX3, i4, i5, i7, and iX will also benefit from the expansion. Moreover, the sixth generation of Neue Klasse vehicles is planned for 2025.
Thomas Thym, head of the BMW Group plant in Landshut, highlights the continuous expansion of the site’s expertise in cutting-edge component production and new technology development. This skill set will provide flexibility needed for future operations.
