BMW unveils sixth -generation eDrive technology for its Neue Klasse range of electric vehicles.

The iX3 , first unveiled in September , will be the first model to receive the new platform.

The new platform is built around a new nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) high-voltage battery, the slimmer design of which allows it to be integrated into all EVs across the BMW Group , including Rolls-Royce and Mini .

The evolution has even been earmarked for the high-performance BMW M range.

Official series production of the Gen6 electric architecture is set to begin this summer .

The ASM weighs 154 pounds and is available with two different power outputs.

BMW is hopeful half of its on-site employees “should be working in electric mobility” by 2030 .

Some Neue Klasse mules are already undergoing initial testing.
