The BMW Group and Great Wall Motor are driving e‑mobility forward by building a joint plant in China, where the BMW Group will produce future fully electric models of its MINI brand.
As well as production, the innovative joint venture model also includes joint development of battery-electric vehicles in the world's largest market for electromobility. The joint venture envisages production of future electric MINI vehicles, as well as several models and brands for Great Wall Motor.
Following the launch of the brand-new fully-electric MINI, which will be built at Oxford and come to market in the first quarter of 2020, this is another important step towards the MINI brand's electrified future. MINI Plant Oxford, which recently built the 10 millionth car since the brand's launch in 1959, will remain the heart and home of MINI manufacturing, while the Spotlight Automotive joint venture will provide additional capacity and flexibility.
