Climate problems oblige many different sectors to act more consciously to reduce their carbon footprint and prevent possible future dangers of the climate crisis, and to make innovations and technological developments in this direction. Especially in the automotive sector, the internal combustion engine (ICE), which works with the system of moving the piston by the pressure created by the burning of the fuel in a limited area called the combustion chamber, and using fuels such as gasoline, diesel, LPG, natural gas to do this, has a carbon footprint. It directs automotive companies to develop less harmful systems.
The gases that come out with the burning of the fuels used by this engine used in cars, are released to the outside, harming the environment and the average temperature of the planet rises. Considering that there are millions of vehicles in the world, a disturbing picture emerges. It is known that diesel is banned in some countries due to the damage it causes to the environment. Considering all these, the importance of the subject is better understood. Many automotive companies are also working in this direction.
BMW is not worried about this:
Being careful about its carbon footprint, BMW said at a conference on Friday to mark the start of production of the electric i4 model, that it will stop internal combustion engine (ICE) production at its main factory in Munich by 2024 and that at least half of the vehicles produced in Munich will be electric by 2023. announced it would. Production chief Milan Nedeljkovic said that ICE engines, currently produced in Munich, will be produced in factories in Austria and England in the coming years, but cars using these engines will still be assembled in the Munich factory.
BMW CEO Oliver Zipse stated that they will be ready with an electric car offer against any ban, after the European Union (EU) proposed banning vehicles with internal combustion engine systems, that is, fossil fuels, as of 2035, as part of the fight against global warming. we will be. If a region, a city, a country gets the idea to ban ICEs, we have a proposal. The BMW Group is not worried about this,” he said.
