BMW AG (BMW.XE) said Monday that it is investing 400 million euros ($440.6 million) in its Dingolfing plant in Bavaria to ready the site for production of it pure battery-electric, as well as highly automated cars.

By 2021, the German luxury car maker plans to produce its iNext electric model at the site--its largest European production location.

"With the launch of the BMW iNext in 2021, Plant Dingolfing will be capable of producing the right mix of fully-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and models with combustion engines to suit demand on a single assembly line," the company said.
