BMW Starts Trial Production of Neue Klasse EVs in China
The long-wheelbase BMW iX3 highlights the automaker’s central strategy for electrification and digital transformation. With trial production underway, the company is positioned to begin full-scale manufacturing next year.
The automaker’s sixth-generation power battery project will start supplying batteries for Neue Klasse models in 2026, backed by an investment of 10 billion yuan (around 1.4 billion U.S. dollars).
Michele Melchiorre, senior vice president of technology and manufacturing at BMW Brilliance, stressed that the new model merges global engineering expertise with local innovation, underscoring the plant’s dedication to quality and sustainability.
BMW is working with Chinese partners such as CATL and Alibaba to enhance battery production and integrate artificial intelligence. These collaborations aim to provide a smart driving experience tailored to Chinese road conditions.
In line with its green production objectives, BMW’s Shenyang base runs entirely on renewable electricity. Geothermal heating has also been introduced to further cut carbon emissions.
More than 200 AI-driven solutions are utilized throughout the production process. Among them is an AI-powered visual inspection system capable of detecting even the smallest defects in real time, ensuring precision and reliability.
