MINI’s Oxford Plant Construction Approved For J01 MINI Cooper Production

DimON · December 21, 2023

MINI has officially been given the green light for construction to the Oxford Plant which is set to be radically transformed ahead of electric vehicle production. The end result will allow MINI to produce the new generation of electric MINI Cooper along with the forthcoming Aceman.

The result will see the J01 MINI Cooper and J05 MINI Aceman being built along side the ICE powered F66 MINI Cooper family starting in 2026. This should bring the next generation cars to markets like North America around that timeframe.

The plans include demolishing two of its building giving the plant more room to expand as its output increases. It also will extend its integrated logistics center and another logistics building on site.

The investment will total £600m and will ensure future growth, future-proofing the plan and safeguarding jobs for the area.

Currently the MINI Oxford Planet plant employs more than 3,400 employees and can build up to 1,000 MINIs a day.
