Eminyakeni yamuva nje, inkampani yaseMunich ibhekane nengcindezi enkulu ethinta imboni yezimoto. Okokuqala nje, kufanelekile ukuqaphela izindleko eziphakeme zokuthuthukisa izimoto ezihlangabezana nezindinganiso eziqinile zokukhipha umoya eYurophu naseChina. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inkampani itshala imali eningi ekuthuthukisweni kwezimoto ezizimele, izama ukuncintisana nabanye ababambiqhaza esigabeni esifana ne-Waymo ne-Uber.
Ngo-2013, kwethulwa imoto kagesi i-BMW i3, eyaba ngeyokuqala emakethe. Kodwa-ke, ukuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo kwesiqondiso kwakungasheshi kakhulu, njengoba inkampani yanquma ukugxila ekukhiqizeni izimoto ezihlanganisiwe ezihlanganisa injini yomlilo yangaphakathi kanye nesitshalo samandla kagesi.
