\n Munich. The Neue Klasse is providing strong momentum
\n for fully-electric vehicle sales: Two million BEVs have been handed
\n over to customers since sales of the very first BMW i3 launched in
\n late 2013. Including plug-in hybrids, a total of around 3.5 million
\n electrified vehicles have been delivered to customers worldwide since
\n 2013. In the first half of 2026, more than one in every four vehicles
\n sold was electrified.<\/p>\n
\n \u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\u201cSelling two million BEVs underlines how BMW and MINI models are
\n winning over customers worldwide. In Europe, the positive development
\n has continued since the market launch of the BMW iX3*, and we will
\n soon be reaching the milestone of 100,000 new orders. This shows the
\n tremendous importance of the Neue Klasse for the ongoing ramp-up of
\n electromobility at the BMW Group,\u201d says Jochen Goller, member of the
\n Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Customer, Brands, Sales.<\/p>\n
\n \u00a0\n<\/p>\n
In the second quarter of 2026, European sales of BEV vehicles climbed
\n steeply as availability of the BMW iX3 increased, with the company
\n recording 38% growth to 81,445 units. In the first half of 2026,
\n fully-electric vehicles accounted for around 28% of total sales on the
\n company’s home continent. Since the world premiere of the BMW iX3, one
\n in three fully-electric BMW vehicles ordered in Europe has been a BMW
\n iX3. Within the X3 family, one out of every two vehicles ordered is
\n already a fully-electric iX3.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two-millionth fully-electric vehicle, a BMW i5 M60 xDrive*, was
\n produced at Plant Dingolfing and delivered to a customer in Spain. BMW
\n Group Plant Munich began series production of the new BMW i3 in
\n August. High demand is leading to a steep ramp-up curve at the plant.
\n \u201cThe second Neue Klasse model, the BMW i3, is already seeing strong
\n demand since orders opened ahead of its market launch,\u201c Goller continued.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
With its wide range of BEVs and plug-in hybrids, the BMW Group is
\n ideally equipped to meet customers\u2019 growing needs and continue to
\n offer innovative, high-quality electric vehicles. The BMW Group laid
\n the foundation for this more than 50 years ago as an e-mobility pioneer.<\/p>\n
