BMW invests $200m in US facility
09/07/2024
Milan Nedeljkovic, BMW’s head of production, said: “After 30 years of successful production, we are further expanding our commitment. In late 2026, production of fully-electric Sports Activity Vehicles will get under way here in Spartanburg – a further step towards strengthening our global resilience.”
Between now and 2030, at least six fully-electric models will ramp up at the US plant. The high-voltage batteries for future BEVs from Spartanburg will come from nearby Woodruff, where the BMW Group is currently setting up an assembly for batteries.
Robert Engelhorn, president and CEO of BMW Manufacturing. “Having this press shop on-site fits our ‘local for local’ strategy, whereby we produce major parts at the location where we need them.”
The BMW Group has invested more than $200 million to construct the 20,000-square-metre facility. The investment has also led to the creation of more than 200 jobs, with some undergoing training at in Swindon in the UK and Leipzig in Germany.
