For BMW , the Neue Klasse platform will coat; a very important role since it will be; used for its next generation electric models. Will arrive & agrave; in 2025 and it seems that it will be; used, for the first time, for the future electric 3 Series. However, at the beginning, the German brand had emphasized that this platform, although designed for battery-powered cars, would also allow the creation of endothermic/hybrid cars. So, it seemed that with the Neue Klasse platform, the German brand wanted to follow a & quot; multi-energy & quot; strategy.
According to a report by Manager Magazin, it seems that the German carmaker has changed its mind and intends to use the new platform only for electric vehicles . Indeed, as the German magazine points out, already & agrave; in May, presenting the data of the last quarterly, the CEO Oliver Zipse had pointed out that the first platform-based model would be electric and that it would be reasonable to have only one type of powertain for that architecture.
When it arrives. on the market, will be & agrave; aimed at the 3 Series segment and at that point the market will be; developed in a dimension where & egrave; reasonable to have only one powertrain in that architecture.
Zipse, however, had left a small window open to the possibility; that “ traditional '' models could then be created on the platform. According to Manager Magazin, this possibility & egrave; set. Obviously, endothermic models, even electrified, will continue to be produced. Simply, other platforms will be used and, according to the report, the production of traditional cars will depend & agrave; from demand and availability; of batteries for electric vehicles.
In any case, the German brand has not yet made a decision on the development programs after 2025. Nothing can be done; exclude, even an acceleration towards the farewell to endothermic models. According to the report, in fact, the German manufacturer is always planning a progressive farewell to traditional models but in a more so; radical than expected.
800 V ARCHITECTURE
As for the first model that will pogger & agrave; on the new Neue Klasse platform, it seems that BMW is developing an & # 39; 800 V architecture that would allow it to offer very high power recharges. Also, the battery pack will not have; of prismatic cells but of cylindrical cells with a diameter of 46 mm. This would be a confirmation of a relationship that emerged a bit some time ago that he stated that Samsung SDI was working on cylindrical cells of 46 mm in diameter to be proposed in the future to BMW. Batteries that should be of the NMC type.
