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. Samsung SDI will produce locally in Europe, while LG Energy Solution will produce in the U.S., with supply starting in the late 2020s, Yonhap and other outlets report. The move is aimed at strengthening localization and diversification of BMW's battery supply chain, with Business Korea noting the selection reshapes BMW's battery sourcing.
