The introduction of the new BMW X1 xDrive25e, the BMW 330e, the BMW X5 xDrive45e, the BMW X3 plug-in hybrid and the pure-electric MINI Cooper SE brings the total number of electrified vehicles in the BMW Group line-up to 12.
The BMW Group intends to have more than one million vehicles with electrified drive on the road by the end of 2021 – more than half of them fully electric. A quarter of the BMW Group vehicles sold in Europe are expected to be electrified by 2021; a third by 2025 and half by 2030. The BMW Group plans to extend its portfolio to 25 electrified vehicles by 2023.
As an e-mobility pioneer, by the end of 2019, the BMW Group had already half a million electrified vehicles worldwide on the road.
