With the introduction of its most recent electric drive technology, BMW Group has made a major advancement in electric mobility. As a pioneer in the rapidly changing electric vehicle (EV) market, BMW said the new technology, which is a component of its sixth-generation electric drive systems, will provide improved efficiency, performance, and sustainability.
With a number of innovations, the new electric drive system will make its premiere in BMW’s next Neue Klasse vehicles. Because of its 800-volt architecture, the system can charge extremely quickly and uses less energy. BMW asserts that its cutting-edge battery technology will help cars reach greater driving ranges with quicker charging times, allaying major worries among EV buyers.
Modern power electronics are integrated into the newest drive technology, which maximises the interaction between the electric motor, battery, and inverter. BMW has also created new cylindrical battery cells that should provide 20% more energy density than earlier models, enhancing vehicle range and performance even more.
BMW is making sure that the environmental impact of its new battery production process is kept to a minimum as part of its ambitious sustainability ambitions. Its electric vehicles will have a lower carbon impact thanks to their utilisation of recycled components and dedication to the circular economy.
Additionally, BMW intends to debut a number of new EV models on the Neue Klasse platform in 2025. To optimise range and driving dynamics, these cars will include next-generation software, improved connectivity, and an emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency.
