The generator will produce its own electricity with a continuous output of 2.68 MW. Using highly efficient combined heat and power generation, 2.37 MW of heat will be fed into the operating grid. The decision in favor of the CHP module from GE Jenbacher was made on the basis of a tender with a subsequent efficiency comparison over the predicted service life.
The CHP plant is part of an overall concept for the production site with the aim of increasing energy efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions. In conjunction with the use of waste heat from the foundry and the generation of cooling via absorption chillers, BMW is thus realizing a lighthouse project in the region that will also be a benchmark for other production sites in the automotive industry. The project is being implemented as energy-saving contracting by a consortium consisting of the companies Siemens and Ulrich Müller with Gammel Engineering GmbH as planning partner.
On June 2, 2026, we welcomed the newly elected state chairman of the FDP Bavaria, Matthias Fischbach, as well as the new Secretary General Daniel Kuhagen together with the FDP Kelheim - represented by Susanne Blask and Dr. Heinz Kroiss - at Gammel Engineering in Abensberg.
Yesterday, we welcomed a special visitor to Gammel Engineering: the cyclists of the Glückstour 2026 made a stop at our premises. With great personal commitment, they are collecting donations for children with cancer and serious illnesses on their tour. This impressive initiative has been moving people and providing concrete help for many years.
Our employees voted together and decided to support the Hölzgen family with a donation from the Gammel Family Social Fund.
