BMW Group reduces European fleet emissions in 2022

The BMW Group reported that it has reduced the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of its European fleet in 2022.

According to the German automotive conglomerate, the CO2 emissions of its European fleet were reduced by nine percent against its recorded CO2 emissions in 2021.

Further, the BMW group outperformed the fleet CO2 emission target set by the European Union of 127 grams per kilometer by 22 grams. Per the automotive consortium, its fleet’s CO2 emissions clocked in at 105 grams per kilometer (based on preliminary calculations for 2022).

The BMW Group believes that it has achieved such a feat because of the successful implementation of the company’s electrification strategy.

“The BMW Group sold a total of more than 215,000 fully-electric vehicles worldwide in 2022 — an increase of almost 108 percent, compared to the previous year. Fully-electric vehicles accounted for nearly nine percent of total sales last year. The goal is to increase this figure to 15 percent in 2023. The BMW Group also aims for more than 50 percent of its sales volumes to come from fully-electric vehicles no later than 2030,” the BMW Group said in a press release.

As the next step in this direction, the BMW Group plans to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 40 percent per vehicle throughout the entire lifecycle — supply chain, production, and use phase — from 2019 levels by 2030.
