On February 21, BMW Group officially announced the integration of its large cylindrical batteries into mass production alongside new-generation models. Currently, the sixth-generation power batteries have transitioned into the trial production phase at the Shenyang production base, with local testing and validation processes underway. BMW anticipates the commencement of mass production in China by 2026.

BMW emphasizes that this new battery pack boasts a slimmer profile, faster charging capabilities, and an extended driving range. Specifically, it features a 20% increase in energy density, a 30% boost in driving range, and a 30% enhancement in charging speed. When coupled with an 800V high-voltage platform, the battery can facilitate a driving distance of 300 kilometers after just 10 minutes of charging.

Furthermore, BMW has autonomously developed an "Intelligent Energy Control System" to enhance the intelligence and safety of battery management. The innovative pairing of this battery pack with synchronous and asynchronous excitation motors is reported to decrease energy loss by 40% and elevate vehicle efficiency by 20%.
