Sono stati parecchio abbottonati, ma presumo possa trattarsi delle Hatch/Cabrio/Austin Allegro Facelift.

BMW's Zipse sees Toyota alliance going beyond 2025

FRANKFURT -- BMW CEO Oliver Zipse on Thursday said he would seek to strengthen bonds with Toyota and wants the current alliance between the two automakers, which focuses on fuel cells and sports cars, going beyond 2025.

"In the next decades, we would do well to strengthen bonds," Zipse told the Automobilwoche congress on Thursday.

The alliance, which currently includes a cooperation deal on fuel cell cars and joint development of a sports-car, should continue beyond 2025, Zipse said.

Fuel cell cars, which are powered by hydrogen, may benefit from a concerted push by policymakers, to industrialize the production of hydrogen, Zipse said.

Separately, Zipse said BMW is seeking ways to save costs by slimming down its portfolio of models.

"Coupes, convertibles and roadsters, we will see what will be left," Zipse said, commenting about one of the areas where BMW is reviewing its product offering.

BMW moves engine production to UK, Austria as German plants go electric

FRANKFURT -- BMW said it will retool its German factories to build electric cars and components and shift manufacturing of combustion engines to plants in England and Austria as part of a broader shift toward low-emission cars.

"By the end of 2022 all our German factories will make at least one fully electric car," Milan Nedeljkovic, BMW's board member responsible for production, said in a statement on Wednesday.

BMW's plant in Munich, Germany, which currently builds 4-, 6-, 8- and 12-cylinder combustion engines, will be retooled to make next-generation electric vehicles with a 400 million euro investment until 2026.

BMW said production of 8- and 12-cylinder engines will move from Munich to Hams Hall in England, and other engines will be made in Steyr, Austria.

Plants in Munich, Dingolfing and Regensburg in the German state of Bavaria, where BMW is based, will receive most of the investments.

The BMW i4 full-electric car will be built in Munich; a full-electric version of the 5-series and 7-series cars will be made in Dingolfing, Germany; and an electric X1 will be produced in Regensburg.

BMW said the number of staff at its Dingolfing factory making electric car powertrains, will double to 2,000 workers.

BMW's plant in Leipzig, Germany, will start manufacturing Mini Countryman in combustion engine and electric versions, and the Regensburg and Leipzig plants are being prepared to make battery modules.

BMW will improve its cost structure by 500 million euros by the end of the year, the company also said.

Factories across the globe are clamoring for investment into next-generation cars as electric vehicles gain traction with consumers and as governments hasten the demise of the combustion engine.

Germany on Wednesday unveiled a 3-billion-euro ($3.56 billion) scheme to promote low-emission cars and Britain said it will ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars and vans from 2030.

Conferme per un modello "Crossover" per MINI

Cita

 Der In 2023 the first MINI “born in Germany” will roll off the assembly lines at BMW Group Plant Leipzig. Following a decision by the BMW Group, production of the all-new successor to the current MINI Countryman will be contracted out to the facility in Saxony, making it the BMW Group’s first German site to produce both BMW and MINI vehicles. As it will be manufacturing both the combustion- and electrically powered versions of the forthcoming MINI crossover, Plant Leipzig has been the subject of an investment programme to ensure suitable expansion of its production capacity, including e-drive component assembly.

Si, la prossima Countryman (U25) a base della nuova X1 (U11) con propulsori ICE/Bev. La "Countryman" piu piccola sara solo Bev (basata sulla nuova pianale con i cinesi) e il secondo modello di Spotlight (il JV con Greatwall).

parli della nuova MINI "mini"? La rocketman?

 

Mentre se la Countryman va via da VLM Nedcar, c'è qualcos'altro che sarà mandato lì in sostituizione o Nedcar produrrà solo la hatch/cabrio?

Il primo modello di Spotlight sara la nuova Mini elettricha (un po' piu compatta come F56) che sostituisce la F56 Bev (che ha vita corta). BMW con la Mini classic fa una operazione un po' simile come Porsche con Macan, versione nuova solo elettrica, ICE va avanti parallela il modello attuale.

Nedcar e Mini vedo duro ad un certo punto.

Grazie. Quindi la politica per la MINI Hatch è la stessa di Fiat con la 500 elettrica/ICE.

Two strategic Chinese companies linked to the regime entered into default

Tsinghua Unigroup Co. said it was unable to pay a bond at 5.6%, or 1.3 billion yuan (US $ 197 million), issued privately due Monday, citing tight liquidity and after failing to secure immediate approval from creditors to delay full payment of the bond. Brilliance Auto Group Holdings Co., a Chinese automaker linked to BMW AG, also announced that it has defaulted on its 6.5 billion yuan (US $ 987 million) debt.

Production alteration

Brilliance Auto disclosed its own default on debt over 6.5 billion yuan through a statement posted on Chinabond.com, adding that it had 144 million yuan of interest due. He attributed his defaults to tight liquidity and the inability to obtain approval for credit line renewals. The defaults have affected production and operations and worsened its financial condition "significantly", the automaker said.
Brilliance Auto's bonds tumbled after it defaulted on its 1 billion yuan 5.3% three-year bond due October 23, intensifying concerns about its finances since its listed unit Hong Kong agreed to relinquish control of its joint venture with BMW by 2022. The China-based partnership has been a crucial source of profit for the group.
