BMW CEO: Future Investment In US Will Not Be Guided By Politics via insideevs.com

BMW Group CEO Oliver Zipse said last week that market demand, not politics, will guide the carmaker's future investment in the US.

Referring to the Inflation Reduction Act that ties US EV tax credits to North American production and sourcing of key parts and raw materials, the outspoken executive vowed that BMW Group will not be forced off-course by political agendas and will do what makes business sense for the company. The German automaker is under pressure to rethink its production footprint and supply lines when it comes to EV parts and batteries to qualify for"We would not change in a substantial manner our strategy because of current politics. Our cars have a life cycle of maybe seven years, sometimes even longer. That's roughly two or three administrations," Oliver Zipse said at a media briefing at CES 2023 according to Automotive News.

's head honcho highlighted the dangers of reacting to political winds using an example from the Trump era, when the automaker was under similar pressure to expand its manufacturing footprint in the US."We discussed with the previous administration … and they would try to force us into the implementation of a combustion engine plant in the United States, which we don't have today," Zipse said.

The executive argued that in some ways, BMW is already as American as apple pie since its largest factory in the world – which employs 11,000 people – is in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The plant produced more than 416,000 SUVs last year, about 40 percent of which were exported worldwide.
