BMW celebrates delivery of one-millionth electrified vehicle



(December 8, 2021) MUNICH, Germany —  BMW Group has celebrated the delivery of its one-millionth electrified vehicle before the end of the year. Pieter Nota, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Customer, Brands and Sales, handed over the milestone vehicle, a BMW iX xDrive40 to its owner at BMW Welt on Dec. 6.
 
“The delivery of our one-millionth electrified vehicle marks a milestone in our transformation — and we already have the next one in our sights: We aim to break through the two-million mark in just two years,” said Nota. “Thanks to our steadily growing product range, we are setting ourselves ambitious sales targets, in particular for fully-electric vehicles: In 2022, we aim to double this year’s sales. By 2025 the BMW Group will have delivered around two million fully-electric vehicles to customers. We expect at least one out of every two BMW Group vehicles sold to be fully electric by 2030.”


 
The BMW Group released two key innovation flagships, the BMW iX and the BMW i4, onto the market in mid-November. Both models are being very well received by customers worldwide — as reflected in new orders from around the globe.
 
Over the next year, the BMW Group will expand its electrified product line-up to include fully-electric versions of the BMW 7 Series and BMW X1. The high-volume BMW 5 Series will be added to the electric portfolio in 2023. The successor to the Mini Countryman and the all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre will follow. By 2023, the company will already have at least one fully-electric model on the roads in about 90 percent of its current market segments. Over the next ten years or so, the BMW Group plans to release a total of about ten million fully-electric vehicles onto the roads.
 
The Mini product range will already be exclusively all-electric by the early 2030s and Rolls-Royce will be an all-electric brand from 2030 on. All future new models from BMW Motorrad in the field of urban mobility will also be fully electric.
