Munich. Last year, the BMW Group once again produced
more than one million vehicles at its German plants. This means that
one in four vehicles built in Germany comes from a BMW Group plant.
According to the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA),
a total of 4.15 million vehicles were manufactured in Germany during
the same period.
“Our plants provide impressive proof of how competitive German
industry is. Producing more than one million vehicles in 2025 is a
strong testament to Germany’s innovative strength. To achieve this, we
are systematically leveraging innovation and digitalisation. Going
forward, policymakers must ensure competitive framework conditions for
Germany as an industrial location,” explains Milan Nedeljković, member
of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Production.
The German automotive industry possesses unique expertise, extensive
knowledge and a passionate car culture that few locations worldwide
can match. The BMW Group vehicle plants in Dingolfing, Leipzig, Munich
and Regensburg represent strong pillars of the company’s international
production network. The foundation for this is a clear strategic
direction aligned with the BMW iFACTORY, with streamlined structures,
efficient processes and maximum flexibility at all plants. The
BMW iFACTORY offers a vision for manufacturing across all locations in
the global production network.
At all German plants, vehicles with internal combustion engines,
plug-in hybrids and fully-electric drive trains are produced on a
single line. With this flexible structure, BMW Group production can
respond in an agile manner to fluctuations in demand and changing
market conditions. It is therefore an important pillar supporting the
company’s cross-functional resilience and a key competitive advantage
in a dynamically evolving industry.
Vehicles from the German plants are primarily destined for the
European market, in line with the principle of globally distributed
value added. In the Americas and China, production volumes also
roughly correspond to the number of vehicles sold in those regions.
