With stringent emission norms and the possibility of a complete ban, the ICE or internal combustion engines as we know it don’t have a future. Which is why we see almost all the automakers moving towards electrification or full-electric lately.
As for the BMW Group, the share of electrified models across all brands and model series will be increased, said Harald Kruger, Chairman of the Board. The plan also includes Rolls-Royce brand and BMW M vehicles. The company already has a commitment of delivering 100,000 electrified vehicles this year.
We are currently gearing all BMW Group plants towards e-mobility, added Kruger.
By 2025, we will offer 25 electrified vehicles – 12 will be fully-electric. As we have announced, we will be introducing the first BMW core model – the X3 – as a BEV in 2020. Going forward, all fully-electric BMWs will belong to BMW i. This also applies to the X3. We have also announced the BMW iNEXT – our next innovation spearhead – for 2021.
At this year’s IAA, we will unveil another significant milestone in our roadmap for e-mobility. It is a vision of how we imagine a four-door, fully-electric vehicle between the i3 and i8. It is a vision we want to realize in the foreseeable future. And a further step in our commitment to sustainable mobility, said Kruger.
