Los, Angeles, California (Global Times) — China is going fast in advancing electric vehicles technology, and BMW expects stronger cooperation with Chinese partners in electrification development, BMW’s Board Member Pieter Nota told Xinhua ahead of the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show which opens on Friday.
“The Chinese government is stimulating electrification partly through regulation. The development (of electrification) in China is particularly fast, depending from city to city,” Nota told Xinhua in an exclusive interview.
The BMW Group has been cooperating closely with Chinese partners, mainly, the joint venture BMW Brilliance Automotive (BBA) for manufacturing BMW vehicles, and the Great Wall Motor for producing electric MINIs in China, said Nota, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Customer, Brands, Sales.
