The BMW Group has been declared industry leader in the ‘Automobiles’ category by the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability Indices. Of all 39 car manufacturers assessed, BMW is the only one to be awarded 80 out of 100 points. Since the launch of this sustainability index in 1995, BMW has consistently topped the list.
“BMW IS RECOGNISED AS THE MOST SUSTAINABLE CAR company IN THE WORLD.”
Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG.

BMW first began developing electric mobility in the late 1960s. At the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, electric BMW 1602s drove as pace cars in front of the marathon runners.

Since 2006, BMW has managed to reduce CO2 emissions by 70% and the energy consumption per vehicle has fallen by 40%.
