stage. The innovative efficiency technologies developed
in conjunction with Efficient Dynamics are being con-
tinually integrated in all models manufactured by the
BMW Group. In a second step, the BMW Group is addi-
tionally improving fuel economy by gradually intro-
ducing electric power combined with a comprehensive
range of hybrid solutions. From 2013 onwards, our port-
folio will be expanded by electric drive systems used
in products of the BMW i sub-brand. In addition, we re-
main committed in the long term to the use of renewa-
bly produced hydrogen. This strategy will ensure that
we will continue to be able to meet stipulated CO2 and
fuel consumption threshold values in the years to come.
Between 1995 and 2011 we reduced the CO2 emissions
of our newly sold cars in Europe by more than 30 %. Our
vehicle fleet in 2011 had an average fuel consumption of
5.3 litres of diesel / 100 km or 6.6 litres of petrol / 100 km
and average CO
2
emissions of 145 g / km in Europe (EU-27).
We also lead the field among German premium-seg-
ment manufacturers with CO2 emissions of 151 g / km.
Efficient Dynamics has given us a competitive edge,
particularly in markets where a CO2-based vehicle tax
applies. It remains our goal to reduce the CO
2
emissions
of our vehicle fleet by at least another 25 % between
2008 and 2020.
Sustainable mobility for the future
The demand for alternatively powered vehicles using
electric or hybrid technology is growing all the time. It
is also becoming apparent that the premium brands of
the future are being increasingly defined by their de-
gree of sustainability. The BMW Group has recognised
these trends. We have reacted to changed customer
needs
by introducing a separate sub-brand. Further in-
formation on this topic can be found in the “Research
and development” section.
