“Leipzig continues to power ahead. Making the BMW i3, we were the BMW Group’s pioneer in electromobility. Now, with the development of e-component production and the upcoming launch of the MINI Countryman, the future is already taking shape,” said Petra Peterhänsel, Plant Director.

During the first stage of construction, a warehouse, a two-story office building and a loading tunnel with a combined gross area of 38,000 m2 will be erected. There are also plans for a second construction stage, which will take the total investment to as much as €100 million, BMW claimed. When all the construction work is complete, the new buildings at the Supply Centre North will provide workplaces for ~500 employees.
