Product responsibility.
Shaping mobility.
Product responsibility is a central concern of the BMW Group – from fuel-efficient drive technologies through innovative mobility services to safety aspects. At the same time, we also want our products to protect the environment and conserve resources. The benchmark for the success of these measures is the satisfaction of our customers.
Our goal is to reduce CO2 emissions per vehicle by at least a third by 2030 – for the first time throughout the entire life cycle from the supply chain to production to the end of the usage phase. Compared to the production of 2.5 million vehicles in 2019, this would correspond to a reduction of more than 40 million tons of CO2 over the life cycle by 2030.
By 2030, 60 % of the world’s population are expected to live in cities.
The BMW i3 provides an excellent example of this: From raw material extraction through vehicle operation to recycling, this car meets measurable sustainability targets. Based on an electricity mix made up of purely renewable energies, its greenhouse gas potential is more than 50 % lower than that of conventional automobiles.
In addition to electric drive trains, we also rely on innovative efficiency technologies to optimise the environmental profile of all our models.
In view of climate change and the scarcity of resources, we want to further reduce the CO₂ emissions of our vehicles.
Product responsibility is about more than just safety for us. We focus not only on the protection of our customers, but also the safety of other road users. Our driver assistance systems monitor what is happening on the road and intervene in critical situations. In addition to the safety features built into our vehicles, our driver safety training also helps customers stay safe on the roads.
