The BMW Group invests heavily in renewable materials to achieve its carbon reduction targets

Compared with traditional materials, the use of renewable raw materials and natural fibers, such as flax, red hemp, etc., can minimize the amount of material used, and can reduce the weight of up to 50%, which will help reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle during use. In addition, the use of natural fibers reduces the carbon dioxide calculation value, as plants absorb carbon dioxide during the growth phase to release oxygen.
