BMW will produce 1.5 million models with its CLAR platform per year.
- The BMW group has created a new modular platform (named CLAR), which will be shared by all its RWD models (available initially for the latest 7 Series, then for future 5 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series and 6 Series models) as well as for future SUVs (X3, X4, X5, X6), and for future Rolls-Royce models.
- This new shared platform is the second by the BMW group after its UKL platform, and is used in all front wheel drive models (Mini, Active Tourer, Gran Tourer, X1, as well as in future 1 Series, 2 Series and X2).
- Almost a million models with these platforms are set to be manufactured with UKL and almost 1.5 million with CLAR. BMW's aim is to sell 2.5 million vehicles globally each year (compared to 2.25 million in 2015).
- Modular platforms, which streamline vehicle parts and significantly decrease vehicle weight, have been developed rapidly by large manufacturers over recent years. The platforms in use today are MQB (transverse), MLB (longitudinal) and MSB (to-of-the-range) by Volkswagen, CMF by Renault-Nissan (mid-size models), CMP1 (small models) and EMP2 (mid-size models) by PSA Peugeot-Citroën, MFA (FWD) and MRA (RWD) by Mercedes, CMA (compact models) and SPA (large models) by Volvo.
