BMW presents its new electrified car product plan
- The Bavarian manufacturer BMW has announced its new product plan for electrified vehicles (plug-in hybrids and 100% electric vehicles). This new product plan implements BEVs and PHEVs two years earlier than the initial product plan presented last year, probably due to recent announcements from other manufacturers and perhaps also to the accelerated decline in diesel car sales in Europe. Like all its competitors, BMW can no longer rely on a significant proportion of diesel vehicles to meet the CO2 targets imposed by the European Parliament.
- By 2023, instead of 2025, the BMW range will have twenty-five 100% electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, more than half of which will be 100% electric.
- The Bavarian manufacturer now markets six models in plug-in hybrid versions (Series 2, Series 3, Series 5, Series 7, X5, Mini Countryman) as well as three 100% electric models (i3, i8, iX3).
- This means that 16 new BEV and PHEV models are expected to be added by 2023. The BMW i4 (2021) and Mini E (2020) have already been announced . We are now also talking about a rechargeable hybrid X1 (2020) and an i-NEXT (2021). There will therefore be a dozen models left to launch in 2022 and 2023, which is a fairly tight deadline.
- Inovev believes that BMW could launch models in the 2020-2029 to complement the i3, i4, i8 (probably i1, i2, i5, i6, i7) and iX3 ranges (iX1, iX2, iX4, iX5, iX6, iX7).
