BMW is loosing executive employees for a Chinese company

24 Apr 2016

Are we going to drive Chinese cars instead of BMW in the near future? It seems true after the immegration of BMW executives to the Chinese firm called Future Mobility Corp.

Dirk Abendroth, Benoit Jacob and Henrik Wenders will join Future Mobility Corp in the near future after resining from BMW. The executive will fill the positions of vice presidents of software and connectivity, design, and marketing, respectively. The executives will join Carsten Breitfeld, the former project manager for BMW’s i8 plug-in sports car hired to be Future Mobility’s chief executive officer.

Future Mobility is one of several electric vehicle startups which is growing rappidly in China. It is backed up by the governmenet of China which looks for more innovation within its auto industry. Policy makers have also earmarked new-energy vehicles, the government’s term for plug-in and fully-electric autos, as a strategic, emerging industry for support.

No one from BMW accepted to give comments about these resignations. So we are not sure when the executives will start with Future Mobility.

Perfect car for you in Qatar

Choosing the perfect car for you in Qatar, either new or used, is not as difficult as you might imagine, but it will take some time to make your selection. A wide variety of cars can be found in Qatar, from tiny hatchbacks to massive SUVs, from older models to newly released, top-of-the-line automobiles. Some individuals may prefer the illusion of safety that a slightly larger 4x4 provides, as well as the days of dune bashing and desert driving that such a car allows. Others prefer easy-to-navigate smaller cars. No matter your preference though, options are aplenty, and what’s more, petrol is cheap...
