The new Bavarian plant will produce sixth-generation high-voltage batteries for BMW electric cars.
Original publication:
BMW Group opened the plant after around two and a half years of construction. Series production of batteries began on 1 October 2026.
The site will make next-generation high-voltage batteries for BMW’s Munich plant. BMW says around 1,600 people will work there once operations are fully ramped up.
The milestone car is a BMW M4 Competition Convertible for the US market. The plant has built BMWs since 1973 and will begin producing the new 3 Series Sedan in November.
Germany comes first. The Level 2 system will still require an attentive driver.
The partnership focuses on electric off-road motorcycles. Venna will remain independent; BMW did not disclose the investment amount or stake.
