BMW Group Investing $106M In New Battery Testing Center In Germany

BMW Group announced it is investing around $106 million (100 million euros) between now and 2026 in a new electric vehicle battery testing center in Germany as part of its ongoing e-mobility ramp-up.

Located in Wackersdorf, 26 miles north of the city of Regensburg in eastern Bavaria, the center will be integrated into the Wackersdorf Innovation Park site's existing building structures, which are currently used to manufacture cockpits for BMW vehicles and package vehicle parts for shipping to the company's overseas factories.
