+++ With the unveiling of the BMW i Hydrogen NEXT at the IAA Cars 2019 show, the BMW Group is demonstrating its ability to complement its electrified vehicle portfolio with the deployment of hydrogen-powered fuel cell technology. +++
Initial goal: to develop technologies for driver assistance systems, highly automated driving on highways, and automated parking (all up to SAE Level 4) +++ Market launch in series vehicles scheduled for 2024 +++ Partners will implement technologies independently in their respective series vehicles +++ Cooperation involves over 1,200 development specialists in Unterschleissheim and Sindelfingen +++
“Safety First for Automated Driving” (SaFAD) white paper emphasizes the importance of safety by design for automated vehicles.
The BMW Group trial vehicle “Power BEV” presented during #NEXTGen explores what is technically possible. The vehicle is fitted with three fifth-generation electric drive units and has a maximum system output in excess of 530 kW/720 hp. This enables it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in comfortably under three seconds.
Technologies for an on-demand mobility scenario. How about taking the BMW 7 Series out for a spin – and watching a film or even closing your eyes for a while? The BMW Group makes all this possible – and is providing a glimpse of autonomous driving at #NEXTGen.
+++ Innovative digitalisation technologies and new sustainability benchmarks set plant apart +++ Investment of over one billion US dollars +++ BMW Group active in Mexico for 25 years +++ Plant will be supplied with 100% CO2-free electricity +++
BMW “Gen 5” eDrive technology supports future evolutions with Jaguar Land Rover. Both companies share vision of future-oriented drive technologies.
The plug-in hybrid drive system of the BMW i8 tops its category for the fifth consecutive year at the world’s most important engine and powertrain award.
Premiere in the new BMW M8 Coupe and new BMW M8 Convertible: Setup button for configuration of powertrain and chassis systems now also enables selection of braking system settings – New M Mode promotes focused driving on the road and track.
Fast and flexible planning of new workstations in production thanks to virtual reality and digitized 3D factory data +++ Learning success with augmented reality technologies as high as in one-on-one sessions +++ Authoring tool developed by the BMW Group makes it possible to design training courses without any coding knowledge +++ Target/actual comparison between camera image and CAD models for fast, straightforward quality checks of parts and vehicles
Companies are partners in a new initiative to drive open Industrial IoT development and help grow a community to build future Industry 4.0 solutions.
+ Long-term strategic cooperation + Next generation of technologies for driver assistance systems and highly automated driving + Flexible platform and shorter innovation cycles + Technology to be market ready by mid-2020s + Klaus Fröhlich: Consistent pursuit of scalable platform strategy and pooling of expertise from two technology leaders + Ola Källenius: Working with the right partners, we want to continue enhancing this technology.
Game-changing new player to enter growing market for urban mobility +++ Vision: all-electric, autonomous, on-demand mobility +++ Five joint ventures to be established: REACH NOW, CHARGE NOW, FREE NOW, PARK NOW, and SHARE NOW +++ Services already have roughly 60 million customers worldwide +++ Plans to create up to 1,000 new jobs worldwide +++ BMW Group and Daimler AG to share investments and maximize chances +++
+++ Plant Regensburg appointed member of WEF Network of ‘Lighthouses’, representing BMW Group Production System +++ WEF particularly commends fast, streamlined connection of new digital applications enabled by Intranet-of-Things platform +++
At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the BMW Group will showcase the future of driving pleasure and the potential of digital connectivity in a variety of different ways. From January 8-11 2019, visitors will have their first chance to take a virtual drive in the BMW Vision iNEXT, accompanied by the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant.
Making personal freedom the focus of sustainable urban mobility. +++ Regulatory approval marks important milestone for joint venture. +++
BMW Motorrad's first autonomous motorbike was presented last week at the BMW Motorrad Techday 2018. A BMW R 1200 GS made its first rounds in front of assembled journalists, as if by magic, at the BMW Group testing ground in Miramas, southern France.
World’s most advanced facility of its kind provides unique possibilities for development of autonomous driving systems – Construction begins as part of the “FIZ Future” masterplan; completion in 2020; investment of around 100 million euros.
