2024 Mini Countryman - Electric Production Plant Germany !

Hey Guys, Production launch of the MINI Countryman Electric at BMW Group Plant Leipzig 01.03.2024 Press Release 0:17 Pre-Assembly 3:26 Final Assembly 8:39 Mini Countryman Electric 9:52 High Voltage Battery Assembly +++ Higher volumes and a growing team +++ New night shift in assembly +++ High-voltage batteries produced in-house +++ Electrification continues at BMW Group Plant Leipzig: Four months after launching production of the combustion-engined MINI Countryman, the all-electric version is now rolling off the lines at Leipzig as well. After phasing out production of the BMW i3, the birthplace of electric mobility at the BMW Group has welcomed another fully electric car to its range To enable production of up to 350,000 units a year – 100,000 more than previously – Plant Leipzig has been continuously upgraded since 2018, with extensive additions and upgrades to the bodyshop, paintshop, assembly and logistics. “Our cars and components are very much in demand. In recent years the BMW Group has invested around 1.6 billion euros in the Leipzig site to produce additional vehicles and electric components, and now we’re increasing vehicle volumes too – which is great news for our plant,” said Petra Peterhänsel, Plant Director. The main driver behind the volume increase is the MINI Countryman. During the course of 2024, output will rise to almost 500 units a day – on top of the 800 or so BMW vehicles the plant is producing. What’s more, thanks to its flexible production system, Plant Leipzig is in a position to respond quickly to customer demand, for example by increasing the share of fully electric vehicles. With the production launch of the MINI Countryman Electric, all three stages of the Gen 5 high-voltage battery production process are now represented at BMW Group Plant Leipzig: cell coating, module production and battery assembly. Operations in all three are currently ramping up, with five cell-coating, three module-production and two high-voltage battery-production lines now in place. “We are in the middle of the transformation to e-mobility,” said Markus Fallböhmer, Head of Battery Production at the BMW Group. “Starting this year, Plant Leipzig will carry out every stage of our in-house high-voltage battery production process. It’s our next great step forwards.” 🗣LETS CONNECT ! 🙋🏻‍♂️ Here You will Find Some Crazy Automobile Update & Review Follow To be The Part Our Family #Automobilegeeks #MiniCountryman #Countryman #Mini #manufacturing 🗣LETS CONNECT ! 🙋🏻‍♂️ Facerbook 🙋🏻‍♂️ https://www.facebook.com/automobilgeeeksofficial Instagram 🙋🏻‍♂️ https://www.instagram.com/automobilegeeks_official/?hl=en Don't Forget To Subscribe Our Channel !! https://www.youtube.com/c/AutomobileGeeks Press the little bell ((🔔)) to get notifications Like, Share & Subscribe : )
