BMW’s Debrecen plant to be world’s first running fossil-free

The world’s first car plant to operate solely from renewable energy will soon be up and running in Debrecen.

BMW’s new plant will “completely abandon fossil fuels”, the company’s chief executive, Oliver Zipse, told the BMW Annual General Meeting in Munich on Wednesday.

Construction will start on June 1 and electric BMW cars will roll off the production line 26 months later, he said.

Electricity for manufacturing will be generated on site for the most part, while

“100 percent renewable energy sources” will provide the rest, he added.

As we wrote before, following the Hungarian capital, Debrecen and its surroundings were the second most popular regions for property buyers last year. Here is the entire list of the most popular Hungarian cities, including the number of sales, which demonstrates that the property market closed a record year in Hungary last year, details HERE.
