BMW Group has selected Samsung SDI and LG Energy Solution as high-voltage battery cell suppliers for its next-generation Neue Klasse electric vehicle platform, signing supply contracts announced on Nov. 10. Under the agreements, Samsung SDI will produce cells in Europe and LG Energy Solution in the U.S., with supply starting in the late 2020s, as part of BMW's push to localize and diversify its battery supply chain. Yonhap reports the two Korean firms were selected together, while Business Korea notes the move reshapes BMW's battery sourcing.
