The German luxury carmaker BMW will join forces with China's Great Wall Motors Company Limited to shift part of the production of its "Mini" brand to China, the Munich-based company announced on Friday.

德国豪华汽车制造商宝马周五表示，该公司将于中国长城汽车有限公司合作，将旗下Mini车型的部分生产转移到中国。

Under the joint¹ venture, electric Mini vehicles will be manufactured in China from 2019 onwards. While production is initially² scheduled to continue at Mini's traditional British factory in Oxford³, BMW warned that the future of the plant was uncertain and would ultimately depend on the outcome of Brexit negotiations⁴ between the European Union (EU) and United Kingdom.

The Chinese automobile⁵, the country's largest producer of Special Utility Vehicles (SUVs), was first reported to be discussing the possibility of a cooperation with BMW in October 2017. Both parties have now signed a memorandum⁶ of understanding, although the exact details of the joint-venture, including the exact location for Chinese Mini production and the level of investment, are yet to be determined⁷.

Once finalized⁸, BMW's joint-venture with Great Wall Motors, which is based in Baoding, Hebei province in north China, will already be the second such agreement with a Chinese firm after having already teamed up with the local carmaker Brilliance⁹. China is the single largest market for automotive sales in the world.
