BMW only wants to make cars from reusable parts by 2025. The German car manufacturer is about to make those plans public, writes Bild am Sonntag based on insiders.
Cars are already a lot more recyclable than before, but there is always room for improvement, apparently BMW thinks. That brand reportedly wants to use such reusable materials in all its cars in the middle of this decade that the cars can be almost completely recycled. BMW CEO Oliver Zipse says Bild am Sonntag Wednesday a press conference to explain the step. A BMW spokesperson declined to comment on the message.
Making materials more reusable is mainly about not ‘polluting’ one material with something else. So use purer materials. “We design the cars from the start in such a way that as many raw materials as possible can be reused in a new car and do not become unusable as an inferior or contaminated material mix,” says a source within the manufacturer. Bild am Sonntag. The goal would be to make the ‘greenest car in the world’.
So it may be a bit more concrete this week. Just like another rumor, that is about BMW’s subsidiary brand Mini. By 2030, that would only start producing fully electric cars. It would thus follow in the footsteps of brands such as Jaguar, Volvo and Ford. To be continued.
