BMW I3 Cuts Supply Chain CO2e Emissions by a Third
BMW announced that its upcoming i3 sedan will slash supply‑chain carbon‑dioxide‑equivalent emissions by roughly one‑third compared with industry averages. The vehicle incorporates about 30% secondary materials, including high‑recycled‑content aluminium and PET plastics, and its Gen 6 battery cells emit 33% less CO₂e per watt‑hour than the previous generation. Production will start at the Munich plant in 2026, which already runs on 100% renewable electricity and aims for an exclusively EV output by 2027.
