Newly-developed BMW round cells optimised for NEUE KLASSE architecture. Costs for whole high-voltage battery up to 50% lower than for current generation. CO2-reduced production – through green power and secondary material.

The BMW Group today launched a new project that will see cars manoeuvre around production without requiring a driver. The Automated Driving In-Plant project (‘Automatisiertes Fahren im Werk’, (AFW) is being realised in collaboration with two startups – Seoul Robotics from South Korea, and Embotech from Switzerland, and will enhance the efficiency of new-vehicle logistics in plants and distribution centres.

The premium carmaker offers first virtual insights into the powertrain system for the BMW i Hydrogen NEXT and reaffirms its commitment to following a carefully considered and systematic route to emission-free mobility.
