September 14, BMW battery Center II officially opened, the BMW Group became the world’s first production of BMW’s fifth-generation battery production base. First of the new battery will be the first to carry on BMW’s first global model BMW iX3.
Dr. 诺德科沃奇 director of BMW Group responsible for the production of specially sent video congratulations and said: “China occupies an important strategic position in the BMW Group is not only the largest single market, but also the production and innovation base. expansion battery center is completed, the BMW power battery production in China could increase more than doubled, ready for further development of the future. “

BMW Brilliance automotive Co., Ltd. president and CEO Dr. Wei Lande said: “the expansion of the center of power battery, is a concrete manifestation of BMW Brilliance in Shenyang, Liaoning Province and the Northeast continue to increase investment in battery Center Phase II completed. production, as well as our upcoming ‘in China, as China, the world’ models – innovative electric BMW iX3, demonstrate our continued strong commitment to lead the electric travel “
■ the new battery production facility, to “industry 4.0” technology to meet the stringent BMW standards
for automotive manufacturers, battery achieve independent production, we can ensure the effective control of product quality and performance. But it also means the introduction of a complex production process, bring more technical challenges. BMW insists on quality first, self-built battery center.
BMW battery center opened in 2017, the BMW Group’s first battery has a center full battery capacity equipment outside Germany. After opening three years, two more technologically advanced today completed and commissioned, the first production of the fifth-generation BMW iX3 equipped with battery power. It is understood that the center of two battery at the same time production capacity more than doubled, but also for future capacity growth reserved space.
According to the official description, BMW Group currently used battery production process is divided into two stages: firstly combined into batteries of the battery module, the battery pack assembly further. BMW battery module production centerAutomated production line to achieve a percentage of 100, spraying process, like the installation of a variety of ways to ensure that the insulating separator is electrically insulated from each other between the core; plasma cleaning using the production line, and other advanced intelligent optical inspection “Industry 4.0” technology to ensure a reliable production quality and consistency.
After the offline module production line, production line module into the battery pack. Here, the battery module and the art connector, a control unit and a cooling unit integrated together in an aluminum housing, assembled into a complete battery pack. One of the highlights of the line across the board automatic vehicle navigation bearer (the AGV) as the product carrier can be produced according to demand at any time to adjust the travel path, the flexibility of fully protected. Production line incorporates the battery pack 100 and the percentage of high and low voltage line leak testing to ensure the highest quality standards.
■ a new chapter in the development of high-quality, leading luxury electric travel from China to the world
Currently, the BMW Group is steadily advancing electrification process, plans to 2023 in the world It offers 25 new energy vehicles. And BMW has been the most critical of the new energy automobile power battery R & D and production processes, forward-looking layout and continue to increase investment, plays a more important role in the process of BMW’s electric. With the completion of Phase II battery center, the first to achieve the fifth generation of BMW power battery production within the BMW Group.
and is located in Shenyang Brilliance BMW’s R & D center outside Germany as an important component of BMW’s largest R & D network, continue to focus on new energy sector. Since the establishment of R & D center facilities have improved, research and development capabilities continue to improve. In April this year, BMW started R & D center expansion project Phase II, for laboratory and pilot plant facility expansion, to lay a solid foundation for the further localization of production of new energy vehicles.
BMW accumulated in the new energy automotive field research and batteries, will be translated into the core competitiveness of electric transformation process . The fifth-generation BMW amount of battery capacity means that innovative market-ready electric BMW iX3 is progressing steadily. BMW models from domestic production,Tailored to Chinese customers, to the production of pure electric vehicles in the world, BMW Brilliance open “in China, for China and for the world,” a new chapter in the development of localization.
