BMW board member outlines Mini's long-term electrification plan

Peter Schwarzenbauer has led the Mini and Rolls-Royce brands to record sales during his six years as the BMW Group board member in charge of the brands. Starting this month, he takes on a new role within the automaker as the board member whose primary focus is to continue the group's electrification shift. His final task at the company before retiring in October will be to ensure the launch of the new Mini E full-electric car is a success. He talked about this and more with Automotive News Europe Correspondent Christiaan Hetzner at the Geneva auto show.
