The purpose of the facility in Munich is to advance battery cell technology and carefully dissect the production processes. \u201cThe new Battery Cell Competence Centre puts us in an enviable position,\u201d said Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG. \u201cTaking the technology currently in the BMW i3 as a basis, by 2030 we will be able to double the energy density of our battery cells \u2013 and therefore also the operating range of the vehicles for our customers.\u201dThe BMW Group today presented its new high-tech Competence Centre to media representatives from around the world in the presence of Bavarian state premier Dr Markus S\u00f6der, revealing state-of-the-art labs, research facilities and prototype systems.The new Competence Centre maps the entire value chain of battery cell technology \u2013 from research and development to a cell\u2019s composition and design, and its suitability for large-scale manufacture. The facility brings together the full breadth of the company\u2019s expertise and lays the foundations for adding to it. The short distances and cross-functional collaboration at work here will enable complete, transparent and sustainable development of battery cells. Here, it is important that consideration is given to the issue of recycling from the outset.","author_name":"AutoMotions","author_url":"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/AutoMotions","width":480,"height":269,"html":"
