# Market Chatter: BMW Mulls Increased Production at South Carolina, US, Plant

> BMW Group plans to increase production at its Spartanburg plant in South Carolina by adding more shifts, potentially boosting output by up to 80,000 vehicles. The plant benefits from a free-trade zone, allowing imported car parts to avoid tariffs. The company has not yet commented on this development.

BMW Group is planning to add more shifts at its Spartanburg plant in South Carolina, US, as it looks to boost vehicle production by up to 80,000.

Reuters reported Thursday, citing a note from a call with Bernstein Research analysts, that car parts imported to the plant are not subject to tariffs due to its location in a free-trade zone.
