As reported recently, the first Neue Klasse test cars have rolled off the production line at the BMW plant in Debrecen, marking the start of the final preparatory phase for the start of series production at the end of 2025. As the vehicles approach production readiness, all logistics and production processes at the plant are being tested under real-life conditions and continuously optimised to ensure a smooth start to series production.
BMW has now announced a new development, which will see newly produced cars drive in self-driving mode without a driver on the factory floor for their first kilometre.
The so-called Automated Driving In-Plant technology has been tested since 2022 at their largest European plant in Dingolfing, where it has now been put into live operation.
“Automated driving within the plant will optimise our production process and provide significant efficiency gains in our logistics,” Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Production Milan Nedeljković said.
According to a statement from the BMW Group, the technology is being rolled out continuously in the company’s factories and will be used in Debrecen at the same time as the start of series production.
