BMW Plant Woodruff Begins High-Voltage Battery Production for the iX5
BMW Group Plant Woodruff in South Carolina starts series production in December, assembling sixth-generation high-voltage batteries for the new BMW iX5. The plant uses AI-supported processes, digital twins, and virtual reality to enable zero-defect production and employee training. The expansion strengthens battery–vehicle integration and supports Gen6 cells with a reduced carbon footprint, enabling local battery installation near vehicle plants.
