BMW i. Born Electric.

The long term goal of BMW Efficient Dynamics is to combine efficiency with increased driving pleasure. The continuous optimization of the vehicles, such as systematic weight reduction, innovative aerodynamics and engine efficiency measures, as well as the use of alternative drivetrain solutions and the research of new technologies, to provide sustainable mobility already today.

 Following the BMW Efficient Dynamics approach – less emissions, more driving pleasure, BMW i develops visionary vehicles and technologies for the mobility of tomorrow. While making use of a wide range of existing BMW Efficient Dynamics technologies, BMW i goes one step further. BMW i takes a holistic approach with purpose-built vehicle concepts for electric mobility, a focus on sustainability throughout the value chain and a range of complementary mobility services, thereby redefining the understanding of personal mobility. With two new vehicle concepts BMW i creates a new world of visionary mobility. 

 On the one hand there is the BMW i3 Concept. Previously known as the Megacity Vehicle, the BMW Group's first series-produced all-electric car focuses on the mobility needs in urban areas and, as the first premium electric vehicle, reinvents the BMW attributes for the future.

 

On the other hand is the BMW i8 Concept, the most progressive sports car: forward-looking, intelligent and innovative. Its unique E Drive plug-in hybrid brings together a combustion engine and an electric drive system to create an extraordinary driving experience complemented by extremely low fuel consumption and emissions.
