Straßkirchen agrees to build a BMW battery factory

BMW has received a tailwind for the planned construction of a battery plant in Lower Bavaria.

The question was controversial: Can the car company build a large plant on fields in the small community or not? The residents have now voted in favour with a three-quarters majority.

Here you can find information on the topic of “Lower Bavaria”. Read now “Citizens pave the way for a large BMW battery plant.”

BMW wants to build a battery factory 40 kilometers north of its largest European car plant in Dingolfing. There is a protest against the plan in the village. However, in the event of a referendum, the concerns of those who want to prevent the factory cannot prevail.

The citizens of Straßkirchen have decided by a clear majority to establish a large BMW battery plant. 3,200 jobs are to be created there.

Nature protection or jobs for sustainable technologies? This decision was the issue in the Lower Bavarian community. The majority of citizens were in favour of opening the door to the BMW car company.
