The BMW model “Neue Klasse”, destined for the Debrecen factory, is still undergoing fine-tuning. Series production is scheduled to start next year.

BMW Group Plant Debrecen has published new aerial photos on its Facebook page. The finishing touches are being put on the BMW plant in Debrecen, where production will start for the first time in the painting plant. The plant will be capable of painting 30 bodies per hour, but this can be increased in the future. As we recently reported, remarkable technologies are being used to help protect the environment. The 71 football field-sized solar farm, which broke ground in early September, will serve the same purpose. See the new photos here: Facebook / BMW Group Gyár Debrecen

In Debrecen, the BMW Group has built a full-fledged car factory with a press shop, body shop, paint shop, assembly hall, and a unique battery assembly plant for the in-house assembly of battery cells for electric drive. The plant, which covers an area of more than 400 hectares in the Northwest Economic Zone in Debrecen, is the first of the group’s units to be developed entirely along the iFACTORY concept from the very first planning phase, with the aim of efficient, environmentally friendly and digitalised production.

BMW’s website has a constantly updated list of vacancies and an application form. Applicants are welcome for more than seventy positions.

The industrial park is also set to include a 258-seat truck terminal with its customs yard, which is already planned and will serve all the city’s industrial parks. The project aims to ensure truck traffic does not burden the city’s road network.

The new Hungarian Transport Museum will be built next to the factory, and the competition for ideas has just closed. The Archiko Ltd. architectural office won the first prize.
