In December, BMW Group’s car factory in Regensburg, Germany, produced its 100,000th EV for the year, a BMW iX1 premium compact model to be shipped to the island of La Réunion.

The Regensburg plant has been in operation since 1986. Each workday, more than 1,400 BMW X1 and BMW X2 models are manufactured at the facility. The BMW X1 model is produced in combustion engine, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric variants.

“More than a third of the vehicles built at our plant this year were electrified, i.e. a plug-in hybrid or an all-electric model,” noted Regensburg Plant Director Armin Ebner. “In 2024, we will exceed last year’s figure of 238,301 BMW vehicles built in Regensburg with annual production of well over 330,000 units in total.

“Our plant has become even more digital, more circular and more efficient overall this year. We are systematically driving our transformation toward electromobility and the BMW iFactory—an intelligently connected digital factory.”
