BERLIN -- BMW plans to create up to 6,000 new jobs in 2022 to prepare for growing demand for its electric vehicles, the automaker's CEO told German daily Muenchner Merkur.
BMW is on a very good path through the transformation and has its plants prepared for e-mobility, Oliver Zipse was quoted as saying in an interview.
The automaker will increase its workforce by up to 5 percent in 2022, Zipse said.
BMW has so far sold more than 1 million electrified vehicles -- including full-electric and plug-in-hybrid vehicles -- and plans to reach 2 million sales of full-electric vehicles by 2025.
