On February 21st, BMW Group unveiled its latest electric drive technology, highlighting the "Pack to Open Body" approach, which incorporates a "Cell to Pack" solution featuring 46/95 and 120 large cylindrical battery cells. BMW intends to introduce the sixth-generation power batteries equipped with these large cylindrical cells in its upcoming new-generation models this year, with mass production commencing in locally produced models from 2026 onwards. Furthermore, this technology will be extended to other pure electric vehicles, including the all-electric M series. BMW is collaborating with Chinese suppliers such as CATL and EVE Energy to facilitate the large-scale mass production of these large cylindrical battery cells, adhering to the planned timeline.
