BMW says electric version of Mini to be built in Oxford ​

FRANKFURT: BMW on Tuesday said its plant in Oxford, England has been chosen as the location to produce an electric Mini in 2019.

"The electric MINI’s electric drivetrain will be built at the BMW Group’s e-mobility center at Plants Dingolfing and Landshut in Bavaria before being integrated into the car at Plant Oxford, which is the main production location for the MINI 3 door model," BMW said in a statement on Tuesday.

Earlier this month, Reuters reported that BMW's Oxford factory in England was the favoured location for building an electric version of the Mini with the vehicle's powertrain being delivered from factories in Bavaria.​
