The BMW Group is investing millions to make its plant in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, ready for the NEUE KLASSE, accelerating the production of pioneering electric vehicles.
Electric, circular, digital: the BMW Group is ushering in a new era of electromobility from 2025 with the NEUE KLASSE, the next generation of vehicles. With this in mind the company is continuously investing in the expansion of its global production network. The BMW Group is taking the next important step at its Mexican plant in San Luis Potosí. Three different models are already rolling off the production line there, and the BMW Group is now investing another 800 million euros and creating around 1,000 new jobs in the process. This is how the BMW Group is accelerating its production of electric vehicles. At the same time, it is underpinning its ambition for 50 per cent of global BMW vehicle sales to be fully electric before 2030.
“We are creating around 1,000 new jobs.”
“We are systematically gearing our production network towards electromobility,” explains Milan Nedeljković, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Production, in San Luis Potosí at an event with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and San Luis Potosí Governor Ricardo Gallardo Cardona. “The first cars of the NEUE KLASSE will come off the production line at our plant in Debrecen, Hungary, starting in 2025, followed by the main plant in Munich. We will achieve additional volumes by integrating the NEUE KLASSE at Plant San Luis Potosí from 2027 onwards.”
