BMW is keen to find additional partners for the mobility services venture it runs with rival carmaker Daimler, BMW’s new chief executive told a Sunday newspaper, APA reports citing Reuters.

“We would like to welcome additional partners in this area, which has great future potential,” BMW boss Oliver Zipse told Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung (FAS) in an interview.

Collaborations as well as a financial investments were options for any future partners, he said, adding that customers want a wide choice across different brands.

Zipse also told FAS that BMW aims to take Daimler’s crown as the world’s largest maker of luxury cars but added there was no target by when this should be achieved.

“Of course the claim of a brand like BMW has to be number one. Sales volume is not the only yardstick here,” he was quoted as saying.
