A VISION BECOMES A REALITY.

THE BMW VISION EFFICIENT DYNAMICS CONCEPT FIRST WHIPPED UP

A STORM OF EXCITEMENT AT THE IAA IN  – JUST FOUR YEARS LATER,

THAT CONCEPT BECAME A REALITY IN THE FORM OF THE BMW i.

The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept

brought the future

closer – much closer. It demonstrated that it was possible to combine the

emotional excitement of a sports car with the consumption and emissions

of a compact car. And a holistic approach to development showed that this

vision could soon become a reality. BMWEfficientDynamics technologies –

such as Active Hybrid, lightweight construction, aerodynamics and

Intelligent Energy Management – enabled an eye-catching level of dynamic

efficiency. As early as , the close-to-production concept car was able

to achieve outstanding emissions of g/km of CO



and combined fuel

economy of just . litres per km. As a BMW full hybrid with plug-in

technology, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics was powered by a

.-cylinder CommonRail turbodiesel, supported by an electric motor

at the front axle. This allowed the concept to achieve unique dynamic

qualities otherwise found only in high-performance cars. The  highly

efficient lithium polymer batteries were charged using Brake Energy

Regeneration and were sited in the transmission tunnel, just as they are

in the BMW i, in pursuit of the best possible centre of gravity. Further

technical highlights of the concept involved active aerodynamics as a

further development of automatic air flap control, a thermo-electrical

generator that turns engine heat into electrical energy and forward-looking

energy management. Many of these ground-breaking innovations can

be seen today – in the BMW i.
