These are sentences that sound surprising coming from a German car manager in these months. “We continue to stand by the location,” says BMW boss Milan Nedeljković. Of course, Germany and Europe have many issues to address. But that doesn't mean that this country can't have a good future. “We shouldn’t downplay ourselves either.”

The manager is almost in a good mood. And that's a bit understandable: the place he loaded in the middle of this week is a new, huge factory in Straßkirchen, in the east of Bavaria. Where there was farmland two and a half years ago, BMW will in future build battery modules for its electric cars.
