    Around 69 percent of these fully-electric vehicles were delivered to customers in the European region, the BMW Group said. The innovative BMW iX and BMW i4, which are still being launched in the markets, have also been well received and contributed to the outstandingly high order bank of BMW Group.

    Further sales growth is expected in the second half of the year — not only from the fully-electric BMW i3 built in China, but also from the BMW iX1 and the BMW i7 luxury sedan.

    “Emotional products and innovative technology are and will remain the backbone of our business success. Our rapidly growing range of all-electric vehicles with the BMW Operating System 8 impresses customers and experts alike — and is already a central driver of our sales today,” said BMW AG CEO Oliver Zipse.

    “From 2025, we will make the next big leap with the Neue Kasse: The Neue Kasse defines what the BMW Group stands for in the future. At the start, we are planning a compact sedan in the 3‑series segment and a sporty SUV. By the end of the decade, the Neue Kasse is expected to account for more than half of our sales,” Zipse added.
