Active Hybrid

More efficiency - more BMW.

Thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics technologies, our internal combustion engines are more economical than ever before. That's no reason for us to rest on laurels though. In fact, we've already moved on to the next phase of fuel consumption and emissions reduction: BMW ActiveHybrid. This intelligent energy management system will help to achieve further medium-term reductions in fuel use and CO2 emissions. The strengths of electric motors, such as the ability to deliver maximum torque from zero rpm, make them the ideal partner for the sporty and efficient BMW petrol engines. BMW presented a hybrid BMW 5 Series as early as 1985. Since then, electronic control systems and batteries have become far more efficient, and the time is now ripe for a hybrid system that offers genuine driving pleasure. That system is BMW ActiveHybrid.
