BMW Group Plant Regensburg sets new record

REGENSBURG: BMW Group Plant Regensburg has achieved another major milestone, with 100,000 fully-electric vehicles produced in 2024.

The milestone vehicle, which came off the assembly line in Regensburg, is a BMW iX1.

The vehicle, finished in Blue Bay Lagoon metallic, will be shipped to the island of La Réunion.

The plant has produced this successful premium compact model since November 2022.

Regensburg Plant director Armin Ebner said, "“We are meeting customer needs with our BMW iX1 and BMW iX2 models. I am especially proud of our team at Plant Regensburg, who once again showed tremendous commitment and flexibility, despite volatile market conditions. We have achieved our projected growth target for production of fully-electric vehicles in Regensburg in 2024, as promised.

More than a third of the vehicles built at the plant this year were electrified – i.e. a plug-in hybrid or an all-electric model.

More than 1,400 BMW X1 and BMW X2 models are currently coming off the production line at BMW Group Plant Regensburg every workday.

The core BMW X1 model will be produced with all drive train variants: as a combustion-engine vehicle and plug-in hybrid, alongside the fully-electric BMW iX1.
