The concern that left Russia decided to adopt the experience of the Chinese automobile industry

The BMW automaker decided to adopt the experience of the Chinese auto industry in order to increase its competitiveness. The German manufacturer intends to use standardized, off-the-shelf parts much more widely, rather than creating unique components for each model. The goal is to reduce costs, speed up development and increase profitability, while maintaining the features that distinguish BMW from others, writes Automotive News Europe.

The use of standardized parts may become the main point of BMW's strategy. The company expects that by 2032 standardized components will take up the bulk of its annual procurement budget, which amounts to around 80 billion euros. At the same time, BMW is going to halve the use of custom-made parts.

Automakers have long used many common components, such as sensors, electronic components and mechanical parts such as transmissions. The difference is that BMW wants to make greater use of parts that suppliers develop to industry standards and sell to various automakers. This results in volume savings for both the supplier and the automaker.

BMW emphasized: this does not mean that cars of the brand with a high reputation will become like Lego. The company assures that the use of more standardized parts will not reduce the quality of the machines.
