Three Ways BMW Is Making Your Vehicle More Sustainable

Jan 27, 2022

BMW Group has made tremendous efforts in cultivating a sophisticated and serious strategy around sustainability. To protect the future BMW has applied cutting edge sustainability practices to both production of new vehicles, and in the long-term maintenance of BMW vehicles owned by drivers everywhere. Here are three ways BMW is keeping their eye on sustainability.

Reducing C02 Emissions

C02 emissions are extremely harmful to the environment both in the short term and long term. BMW is a world leader in C02 reduction strategies with a fleet of fuel efficient vehicle. On the production side, BMW has appointed key employees to directly monitor each site’s impact on the environment. These environmental officers were first deployed in the automotive industry by BMW in 1973. This long history of environmental-conscious production continues to today, with BMW targeting massive reductions in emissions by 2030.

Building An Electric Fleet

The chief advantage of electric vehicles is their ability to receive power from a variety of sources that combustion engines simply don’t have access to. From wind and solar, to geothermal and hydro, electric vehicles can take advantage of renewable energy that has very little impact on the environment. BMW is continuing to build their electric vehicle line-up, and BMW plants are powered entirely by renewable sources.

Recycling End-Of-Life Vehicles

Eventually all vehicles reach the end of their life cycle, but what happens after? BMW is constantly thinking about how the future of resource-intensive products will look over the next century. One thing is clear: using primary materials, including those used in batteries, won’t be an option forever. BMW isn’t just focused on recycling, but also on realizing the full potential of the resources invested in making your vehicle. From minimizing waste, to breaking down synthetic materials, there’s a lot of potential for manufacturers to make products with significantly fewer resources.

Ultimately, BMW is focused on responsibility and responsiveness to both the environment and the needs of a growing and changing society. Every step along the way BMW will continue to make world class vehicles while being a responsible steward of our planet.
