Everything began in the spring of 2008 in a factory hall at BMW's headquarters in Munich, when a think tank of engineers, designers, logisticians, trend researchers, and financial experts came together to rethink sustainable mobility. This volume accompanies this exciting endeavor in its multifaceted development and also looks to the future. The focus is on the major challenges of our time: climate change, resource scarcity, megacities, and the solutions: the technical development of electric motors, connected mobility, sustainability in production, and the processing of renewable raw materials such as kenaf and eucalyptus wood. Stunning close-up shots and design drawings showcase all models from the BMW i3 to the BMW i8 and the BMW i Vision Future Interaction.
