BMW hands over 126-strong fleet of electric Minis to healthcare company

Austrian family-owned healthcare company Biogena has taken delivery of the first of 126 electric Mini Coopers that will form the second largest fleet of electric Minis in Europe.

German luxury automaker BMW, which owns the iconic Mini marque, says it has begun delivering the first all-electric Mini Coopers to Biogena, with all 126 expected to be delivered by the first quarter of 2026.

The all-electric Mini Cooper boasts a range of up to 371 kilometres (WLTP) and combined power consumption of between 13.8 – 15.5 kWh/100 km, making it a perfect tool for fleets.

The 126 new Mini Coopers build on an already impressive fleet of electric Minis operated by Biogena. In mid-2021, the company took delivery of 82 all-electric Mini Cooper SE, part of a years-long sustainable strategy which has involved the creation of ecological products, reforestation, and efficient environmental protection.

Biogena’s Good Health World site in Koppl, near Salzburg, already produces around half of the electricity needed for its electric vehicles (EVs).

“With Austria’s largest E-Mini fleet, we are setting a strong example of sustainability in practice,” said Julia Hoffmann, COO of Biogena.

“We embarked on the path toward electromobility in 2021 – today, we save around 84,000 kilograms of CO₂ per year. Our employees are proud to be part of this development – ​​and that makes us equally proud as an employer.”

The delivery of new electric Minis to Biogena represents a continued growth in popularity across Austria. All-electric Minis recorded a 160 per cent year-over-year increase in new registrations in the first half of 2025.
