Rimac Technology and BMW Group to collaborate on next-generation battery packs for future BMW models – Rimac Newsroom


As part of its ongoing mission to push the boundaries of EV technology, Rimac Technology is embarking on the next stage of development by offering a number of advanced battery systems. This collaboration with the BMW Group marks an important milestone for Rimac Technology, as it represents the largest and most ambitious project the company has undertaken to date.

Such development requires the development of modern automated battery production lines at the Rimac Campus near Zagreb, Croatia. A large part of the Campus will be dedicated to this project, underscoring the company’s commitment to the partnership with the BMW Group.
