London, 09 April 2024, (Oilandgaspress): – Rimac Technology, specialized EV technology solutions provider to global automotive manufacturers announces long-term partnership with BMW Group to provide high-voltage battery units for BMW Group’s product range – in future model generations slated for the second half of the 2020s.
As part of its ongoing mission to push the boundaries of EV technology, Rimac Technology is embarking on the next stage of development by delivering greater volumes of advanced battery systems. This collaboration with BMW Group marks a significant milestone for Rimac Technology, as it represents the largest and most ambitious project the company has undertaken to-date.
Such development requires the establishment of sophisticated automated production lines for batteries at the Rimac Campus near Zagreb, Croatia. A significant portion of the Campus will be dedicated to this project, underlining the company’s commitment to the partnership with BMW Group.
