The future BMW Group plant in the Hungarian city of Debrecen is on the finish straight as the ramp-up of the assembly line sees the heart of the plant come to life.
This is the beating heart of all the technologies in the plant, and also where the most employees work.
The assembly launch thus marks the reaching of another milestone.
In assembly, the individual components and systems are installed in the painted body – at the end of the process, a car ready to drive rolls off the production line.
The innovative vehicle architecture of the Neue Klasse opens totally new possibilities with regard to assembly: greater efficiency thanks to modularisation, fewer different connecting elements, and a simplified installation of the wiring harness.
An innovative cockpit assembly also accelerates the process.
The BMW Group Plant Debrecen is already producing test vehicles for the first model of the Neue Klasse: the new BMW iX3.
Thus, the new plant is gradually ramping up for series production.
