A monk. In 2021, the BMW Group once again significantly exceeded its European CO2 targets2, continue their steady path to reducing emissions. With emissions of around 115.9 grams per kilometer, according to the WLTP, the company has exceeded the EU27+2 (EU, Norway, Iceland) fleet target of 126 grams per kilometer.
CO emissions2 of the fleet further decreased compared to the previous year: converted to the WLTP cycle, the decrease was around 14%. Key to achieving this goal were increased sales of electric vehicles in Europe and a significant increase in the efficiency of conventional electric power technology.
In 2021, the BMW Group launched two highly successful electric vehicles, the BMW iX and the BMW i4, the demand for which is exceeding expectations. In Europe in particular, there is a strong interest in electromobility: in 2021, more than one in four vehicles in the EU27+2 will be fully electric or plug-in hybrid. This achievement can also be enriched by two other milestones achieved by the company in 2021: for the first time, an electric vehicle, the MINI Cooper SE*, became the largest model for one of the BMW Group’s brands. The company also delivered its millionth electric vehicle to customers in December 2021.
The BMW Group aims to sell more than 200,000 electric vehicles in 2022, at least double the sales in 2021. This year, the introduction of the pure electric version of two other main models, the BMW i7 and the BMW iX1, will increase the total number and percentage of electric vehicles sold. A key feature is a highly flexible and integrated production system that allows vehicles with an internal combustion engine and electric models to be built on a single line. By 2022, the BMW Group will produce at least one electric vehicle at each of its plants in Germany.
In 2021, the BMW Group has once again strengthened its targets to significantly reduce CO2 emissions2 and also committed to a path to achieving the 1.5 degree target to limit global warming. The BMW Group plans to reduce carbon dioxide emissions2 of each vehicle by at least 40% by 2030. The company has become the first German car manufacturer to participate in the “Business Ambition for 1.5° C” campaign launched by the “Science-Based Targets Initiative” and has committed to achieving the goal of complete climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest.
