JAKARTA - Recently, BMW introduced the concept of a car that marks the company's latest electrification era, Vision Neue Classe, at the IAA Mobility 2023 event or Munich Motor Show in Germany.
As one of the auto giants, BMW has big ambitions to be at the forefront of developing electric vehicle technology. In the next few years, the Bavarian automotive manufacturer plans to launch more electrification models.
With the presence of Neue Classe, BMW hopes to reap a profit that is comparable to today's electric car. BMW Group CEO Oliver Zipse believes that the Neue Classe will be very profitable, even on par with existing electric cars.
"(Neue Classe) is very profitable. I'm sure it will reach the same level of profit as today's electric cars," Zipse said, reported by Reuters on Saturday, September 2.
Zipse also confirmed that BMW has a long-term profit margin target of between 8 percent and 10 percent in the automotive segment. In fact, they believe they can achieve these results in the coming quarters.
BMW has ambitious plans to launch at least six models within 24 months of Neue Classe's arrival, including various models ranging from Sport Activity Vehicle (SAV) to sedans.
"All of these models have one thing in common, namely pure electric machines as a source of power," said Zipse.
