Electrification of the powertrain plays a central role on the path towards CO2-free mobility. The BMW Group, with its further development of hybrid technology and eDrive powertrains, is consequently pushing these technologies. Nevertheless, the impact of electric powertrains depends both on technological advances and on economic conditions. In order to establish electric mobility as a sustainable solution for private transport it is also essential in the long run that the required electricity comes from renewable resources. The new BMW i3 is an uncompromisingly sustainable vehicle designed for urban areas. Driven purely by electric power and purpose-built to meet the demands of sustainable and emission-free mobility, it embodies an intelligent form of future urban transportation and commuting. With the new development and the extensive in-house production of the key components for the BMW i3, BMW has laid the foundations for the creation of further exciting powertrains in the future. These powertrains are characterized by their dynamic power performance, high efficiency, smooth running and optimized quality - even when electricity is transformed, instead of conventional fuel, into motive power.
