BMW Expands Production Battery Modules, Tells Us About The Process
BMW recently announced the start of production at Plant Leipzig’s second battery module facility. The new system produces modules for the all-electric BMW i4, which is produced in Munich.
“Plant Leipzig remains electrified,” said a delighted Petra Peterhänsel, Plant Director. “Now that BMW i3 production has wound down, we can use the skills and experience of our employees elsewhere and offer them secure jobs for the long term,” she commented, adding that this would keep the plant relevant into the future.
The modules are produced in a highly automated process, with the first step being plasma cleaning of the individual battery cells. A precisely developed system then covers them to assure maximum insulation. They are subsequently combined to form bigger units known as modules. The BMW Group obtains its battery cells from third-party manufacturers which make them to the company’s exacting standards.
