Midrand. BMW Group South Africa, a leader in innovation and electromobility in the country, announces its partnership with the 2022 E-Mobility Congress of South Africa (EMCSA) electrified by #NEXTGEN.

The annual two-day virtual conference combines local industry leaders, electric vehicle (EV) companies, and government institutes with select international experts focussed on creating awareness around electrified vehicles and accelerating the adoption of sustainable electromobility solutions.

The conference will be hosted from March 1 to March 2, 2022 and attendance is free. Interested parties are encouraged to register on the EMCSA website and join the conversation.

Peter van Binsbergen, Chief Executive Officer, BMW Group South Africa & Sub-Saharan Africa, said of the partnership: “Partnering with the E-Mobility Congress of South Africa, a recognised voice within the local electromobility field with a demonstrated track record, is an indication of our determination to address the challenges and opportunities in this rapidly-expanding segment head-on.

“In preparing for the increased availability of electric vehicles in South Africa, starting with the recent introduction of the BMW iX and continuing into 2022 with the BMW i4 and BMW iX3, we need to ensure the market and, most importantly, our customers are informed and ready for the next phase of our electromobility journey.”

Robert Walker, Director of EMCSA, added: “We are extremely honoured to partner with BMW Group South Africa, a leader in the EV field. We look forward to seeing what this new partnership has in store, not only for EMCSA, but for the broader EV industry, too.

“South Africa is on the cusp of the next motoring era, and it is our responsibility to see it through to the end. With the ‘can do’ South African attitude there is very little that can stand in the way.”
