Around 17,800 customers have taken delivery of a BMW (http://www.electric-vehiclenews.com/search/label/BMW) i vehicle in 2014. Global deliveries of the BMW i3 total 16,052; nearly three-quarters of those sales occurred in the second half of the year, following the vehicle’s late-spring market launch in several major markets including the USA. The keys to a total of 1,741 BMW i8s have been handed over to customers since it went on sale in the summer.
Due to the success of the BMW i vehicles, their production continues to ramp up (http://www.electric-vehiclenews.com/2014/03/bmw-i8-demand-already-exceeding-planned.html). Harald Krüger, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Production said,
“Our production lines in Leipzig are highly flexible and we have switched more production to the i8 to reduce customer waiting times to a better level. Meanwhile, more than 100 BMW i3’s leave the plant each day. The BMW Group is the first automotive company to manufacture using significant quantities of carbon fibre in series production and the success of these cars speaks for itself.”
BMW plans to offer plug-in hybrid versions of all their main models including Mini (http://www.electric-vehiclenews.com/2014/03/mini-clubman-awd-plug-in-hybrid-due.html) and Rolls Royce (http://www.electric-vehiclenews.com/2014/03/rolls-royce-says-plug-in-hybrid.html) brands.
