Rimac Technology, a well-established provider of electric vehicle solutions, has recently announced a significant collaboration with BMW Group to supply high-voltage battery units for BMW’s range of products.
In an effort to strengthen its production capabilities, Rimac Technology is in the process of implementing advanced automated production lines for batteries at the Rimac Campus in Croatia. This expansion reflects their commitment to the partnership and signifies their progression into a major supplier for high-volume production.
Mate Rimac, CEO of Rimac Group, considers this partnership a pivotal moment in their growth journey, emphasizing his early involvement in electric vehicle technology.
“My business journey started with a 1984 BMW 3 Series that I converted into an electric car in my garage at the age of 20, so it’s a perfect piece of symmetry to partner with the BMW Group today. This marks a pivotal moment in the growth of Rimac Technology, from its humble beginnings to a major long-term partnership with one of the greatest automotive brands in the world. It’s a clear sign of the transition of Rimac Technology from a niche high-performance supplier to a high-volume production capability. With the relentless growth of our business, including the opening of Rimac Campus, we are now prepared to undertake large-scale projects for the leading brands in the automotive industry.”
The collaboration between Rimac Technology and BMW Group’s electrification strategy aims to harness their combined expertise to enhance their position in the premium electric mobility sector. BMW Group’s ambitious electrification strategy aims to have battery-electric vehicles account for over half of global vehicle sales by 2030. The partnership with Rimac Technology is expected to play a crucial role in achieving this objective.
This partnership will also lead to the development of the sixth generation of BMW eDrive technology, which is poised to bring about significant advancements in range and charging time, further demonstrating BMW’s commitment to sustainable mobility.
