THE BMW i3: FORGED BY THE POWER
OF WIND AND WATER.
The BMW i3 not only produces zero emissions while driving; all
electricity that goes into its production in Leipzig is generated from
renewables. BMW factories have been leading the way in sustainable
production for a long time now, but BMW i has gone even further
and signicantly improved its facilities. The BMW i factory in Leipzig
produces its own renewable energy – right on the premises – and
operates on 100% clean electric power at zero emissions. It also
consumes signicantly less resources.
And consider the unique approach to carbon ber production: It has
been located in Moses Lake, USA, so that all operations can be
powered completely by renewable energy from the numerous hydro-
electric plants nearby.
For BMW i, sustainable production is not only an environmental con-
sideration but also a social one, creating future-proof job proles and
training BMW i’s suppliers to comply with advanced sustainability
standards.
