BMW to Phase Out Combustion Engines From Main Plant by 2024
At a meeting marking the start of production of its electric i4 model, the head of BMW production said on Friday that by 2024, BMW will stop producing internal combustion engines at its main factory in Munich. The ICE engines currently manufactured in Munich will be produced in BMW’s Austria and UK plants in the future. Production manager Milan Nedeljkovic said that although cars using these engines will still be assembled at the Munich plant.
However, the company said that by 2023, at least half of the vehicles produced in Munich will be electrified-battery-electric or plug-in hybrids.
BMW has set a goal for itself. By 2030, at least 50% of global new car sales will be electric vehicles. CEO Oliver Zipse said at a meeting last week that if Internal combustion engine vehicles are banned in any market, and the company will be ready to launch an all-electric vehicle. .
The company stated that the i4 pure electric vehicle was produced on a joint assembly line with ICE and hybrid models (such as BMW 3 Series sedan and Touring), and this transformation cost 200 million euros (233 million U.S. dollars or 1,746 crore rupees). In terms of production infrastructure.
A similar hybrid assembly line has already been carried out at the automaker’s Dingolfing plant, which produces BMW iX as well as hybrid and ICE models.
Plant manager Peter Weber said that the new model will give priority to the allocation of scarce chips. Nedeljkovic added that the company has sufficient stocks of other raw materials.
BMW has previously stated that due to the chip shortage that plagues global automakers, it is expected that this year’s car production will be 70,000 to 90,000 less than this year’s sales.
It also promised to reduce the transportation logistics emissions of the company’s largest Munich plant to zero in the next few years, but did not give a specific date.
It said this will be achieved by increasing the use of rail transport and battery-powered trucks to transport vehicles inside and outside the factory.

Surfaces of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra with Snapdragon 8S Gen 3
Early this week, renders of the Edge 50 Fusion appeared, and Motorola has previously stated that the Edge 50 Pro will ship on April 3. The highest-end smartphone in the Edge 50 series, the Edge 50 Ultra, has now been shown in renders.
The phone is depicted in the renderings in peach fuzz and black with a vegan leather finish, while sisal, a beige color, will have a brushed surface. As opposed to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the Pro variant and the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Edge 50 Fusion, the phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.
A 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom are all included in the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s feature set. Additionally, there is a triple LED flash on the right side and a laser autofocus feature above the periscope lens.
Although the phone’s display, battery, and charging specifications are yet unknown, the Edge 50 Pro is said to include 12GB of RAM and support both 50W and 125W wired and wireless charging.
It is anticipated that this will launch as the Motorola X50 Ultra in China. It is unclear if the India launch may be expected on the same day as the rest of the Edge 50 series phones, even if this is scheduled to go official on April 3.
