Flexibility at the Oxford plant will allow Mini Electric production to be adjusted according to global demand. The growth in popularity of electric vehicles means that next year, a third of Mini 3-Door Hatch models built at Oxford are expected to be the fully-electric model. Peter Weber, managing director, at the factory, said: “Everyone at Plant Oxford is immensely proud that our hard work integrating Mini Electric into the production line is paying off, with the car proving so popular with customers in the UK and around the world. As the home of the brand, it gives us huge satisfaction to build the first fully-electric car in the Mini product line-up here in Oxford, for global export.”
