BMW C-Evolution Assembly Videos

On April 4, BMW started production of C-Evolution electric scooters in Berlin.

Now, on the BMW Club-RT channel, we see several videos from the production line.
First units should appear in showrooms in Germany and some other countries next month. The price for this machine is set at ~ €15,000.

Its 8 kWh battery pack provides 100 km (62 miles) of real world range. Motor power at 35 kW peak is in Zero S territory (~40 kW). 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes just 6.2 seconds and the maximum speed is set at 120 km/h.

Renault ZOE manufacturing in France !

Check out this first video of Renault Zoé manufacturing process at Renault Flins factory in France


"Learn about the main phases in the manufacturing of ZOE, the 100% electric Renault supermini. In the Flins plant (Paris area), it is assembled just like any combustion vehicle, on the same production lines as New Clio (Clio IV) & Clio Collection (Clio III), by the same operators.

All the production stages are the same as for Clio : deep-drawing, stamping-press, paint, assembly. Some specific characteristics, due to the fact it is electric: its battery assembly by authorized operators, the installation of new robots in the stamping-press department to shape its particular bodyshell (to fit a battery in its underfloor), and last but not least, the on-site production of its fancy front seats."
