Construction of BMW plant in Hungary ‘in full swing’
Construction of the BMW plant in Debrecen (E Hungary) is “in full swing” and related plans are unchanged, the head of the new base told MTI on Friday.
Capacity has not been reduced and there has been no change regarding the production of the planned models, Hans-Peter Kemser said in a statement.
Pre-production is ongoing and serial production will start in 2025, according to plan, he added.
Serial production of the Neue Klasse’s fully electric X model Sports Activity Vehicle is set to start in Debrecen at the end of 2025. Preparations for production of the Neue Klasse sedan at BMW’s plant in Munich are underway, in line with the original plan.
Kemser noted that the Debrecen plant was planned with a maximum annual capacity of 150,000 vehicles. As with all new models or new factories, capacity will be ramped up gradually, he added.
