BMW's Leipzig plant will have the honor, that's one of the most sustainable production facilities in the world. So according to BMW, this is the perfect place for the first all-electric Countryman. Interestingly enough, this is going to be the first Mini produced and assembled entirely in Germany.

The Leipzig plant is also responsible for the production of the BMW 1 Series, 2 Series Gran coupe and 2 Series Active Tourer. In addition, the plant is planned to produce E-components as well.

About 5,600 core employees work on the production lines and are able to produce nearly 1,000 vehicles on a daily basis. Perhaps that number will go up when the Mini Countryman enters mass production later this year.
