Manufactured by Designwerk, these trucks are part of BMW’s broader strategy to enhance the sustainability of its operations. By using electric vehicles for internal logistics, BMW aims to reduce its carbon footprint and improve the efficiency of transporting key components for electric vehicle production. This initiative aligns with the company’s goal to increase the share of fully electric vehicles in its lineup by 2030. BMW estimates that the introduction of these electric trucks will save around 100 tons of CO2 emissions annually, contributing to the company’s overall sustainability targets.

The Leipzig plant is already considered one of the most environmentally friendly car production facilities in the world, with part of its energy coming from renewable sources like wind turbines.
