BMW Group Plant Steyr has begun producing and shipping its sixth-generation electric motors. This significant milestone in its electrification strategy has been reached in just ten months - from development through a new production line installation to the finished product.

The first batch of electric motors has already been delivered to BMW Group Plant Debrecen in Hungary, where they will power the Neue Klasse test vehicles. "Our plant in Steyr has been delivering the first sixth-generation electric engines to the development department in Munich since September," explains Klaus von Moltke, SVP of Engine Production at BMW AG and Managing Director of BMW Group Plant Steyr. "We also recently began sending our e-engines directly to BMW Group Plant Debrecen, where they are being installed in test vehicles."

The production of these electric motors is a big change for Plant Steyr. The factory has traditionally been known for combustion engine manufacturing. It currently produces over one million petrol and diesel engines annually, and is undergoing a huge transformation to become a key player in BMW's electric future. "Over the coming months, we will continue to validate and optimize the complex production process for the new electric motors," adds Helmut Hochsteiner, VP of Electric Engine Production at BMW Group Plant Steyr.

The Neue Klasse, BMW's upcoming generation of electric vehicles, represents the brand's new approach to electric mobility. The vehicles will come fitted with the latest innovative technology. The advanced electric motors produced in Steyr will be responsible for delivering impressive performance and efficiency.
