BMW announced plans Monday to transform its Mini factory in Oxford, England, to produce nothing but electric vehicles, protecting thousands of jobs at a site that has been making cars for more than 100 years.

The German automaker said it would invest 600 million pounds in the project, allowing the factory to begin making two new all-electric models in 2026 before moving completely to electric vehicle production four years later.The commitment came after the U.K. government agreed to plow an undisclosed amount of taxpayer funding into the project.
