BMW's Steyr facility aims to stabilize long-term employment by transitioning from combustion engine production to electric motors, responding to global customer demand. The company is currently developing a high-performance electric drive for M vehicles and enhancing heat management for upcoming models.

A key initiative is the hydrogen fuel cell system for the new BMW X5, which will begin production in 2028, with pre-series production starting in 2027. The BMW iX5 Hydrogen will be available globally. BMW supports hydrogen as a promising energy source for decarbonization, aided by EU regulations mandating alternative fuel infrastructure.
