BMW Munich Factory Will Only Make Electric Vehicles From Late 2027

By David Sachs

 

BMW's Munich plant will produce solely electric vehicles starting at the end of 2027 onward.

The German carmaker said Wednesday it will spend 650 million euros ($710.6 million) to update the factory site with four buildings, including a vehicle-assembly line.

"The Munich plant is an excellent example of our ability to adapt," said Milan Nedeljkovic, a BMW board member in charge of production.

In a statement, BMW characterized the decision as the "era of automobiles with combustion engines from Munich" ending.
