BMW iX in Dingolfing - vehicle and electric drive production on site

The production of the BMW iX in Dingolfing benefits from the enormously broad know-how and the competence of the technologies based at the location. For example, the lightweight body of the BMW iX with its intelligent material mix of aluminium, die-cast aluminium, carbon and high-strength or ultra-high-strength steel not only incorporates the expertise from the production of the BMW 7 Series. Likewise, know-how from the bodywork small series production for Rolls-Royce and that from the production of the aluminum chassis for the BMW i3, which are both based in Dingolfing, are used. Central components of the BMW eDrive technology of the fifth generation are also produced directly on site, including the highly integrated electric drive and the high-voltage batteries that are used in the BMW iX. The Dingolfing component plant 02.20 acts beyond the location as a global competence center for battery and electric motor production of the BMW Group and is currently being massively expanded to a workforce of up to 2,000 employees. From as early as 2022, it can supply e-drives for more than half a million electrified vehicles per year. Last year alone, the number of employees in electric drive production at the site doubled to more than 1,200. The expansion was accompanied by extensive qualification measures. The Dingolfing site is thus a prime example of the successful transformation of the BMW Group plants towards e-mobility and digitization
