Munich. The BMW Group has reduced CO2 emissions from
its new car fleet in Europe (EU 28) to 122 grams/kilometre. Compared
to 2016, this marks a reduction of a further 2 gram/kilometre (2016:
124g/km). The BMW Group has been reducing CO2 emissions from its EU
fleet for years: since 1995, the average CO2 emissions for new BMW
Group vehicles sold in Europe has fallen by more than 42%.
“This development clearly shows that our e-mobility strategy is
successful. We are adding more electric drives to our vehicle fleet,
while also working on fuel-saving technologies for our conventional
drives,” said Harald Krüger, Chairman of the Board of Management of
BMW AG.
In 2017, the BMW Group sold more than 100,000 electrified vehicles.
Last year, the BMW Group accounted for more newly registered
electrified vehicles (all-electric + plug-in hybrid) than any other
manufacturer in Europe, with a share of 21 percent. In the electrified
vehicle segment, the BMW Group’s market share is already three times
larger than its share of the conventional vehicle market.
“By 2025, our global vehicle portfolio will include 25 fully- or
part-electric models. At last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, we unveiled
our take on the future of e‑mobility with the BMW iVision Dynamics.
This vehicle will become reality: we will build it in Munich – as the
BMW i4,” Krüger added.
