SHENYANG, May 28 (Xinhua) -- BMW Brilliance's Shenyang production base in northeast China's Liaoning Province saw the roll-off of its 7 millionth vehicle on Thursday, a considerable achievement that reflects the BMW Group's long-standing commitment to the Chinese market.
"For more than 30 years, we have been deeply rooted in China. The 7 millionth BMW vehicle from our plant in Shenyang is a significant milestone in this success story as it demonstrates the strength of our local production," said Raymond Wittmann, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Production.
"With the start of local production of the Neue Klasse (or New Class) later this year, we are opening the next chapter and starting a new era for BMW in China," he added.
From the roll-off of the first locally produced BMW vehicle in 2003 to today's 7 millionth milestone, BMW has established a comprehensive system in China covering complete vehicle and powertrain manufacturing, localized R&D and a localized supply chain, making it one of BMW's most important production and innovation hubs worldwide, according to the firm.
The facility in Shenyang, capital city of Liaoning Province, stands as the largest production base operated by BMW Group across the globe.
"Beyond excellent products, we have also built in Shenyang a future-proof production system, strong local competence and an exceptional team whose expertise drives our innovation and success in China," said Birgit Boehm, president and CEO of BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd.
"Building on this strong foundation, we are accelerating into a new era through innovation, deeper localization and intelligent manufacturing, opening the next chapter of BMW's development in China," Boehm added.
