BMW HITS TARGET SELLING 100,000 ELECTRIC CARS IN 2017
The BMW Group has sold 100,000 electrified vehicles in 2017, hitting its annual target and signifying an important shift in consumer mindsets towards their individual carbon footprints.
This is more than 60 percent rise in electric cars BMW sold in 2016.
Harald Kruger, Chairman of the Board of Management at BMW commented: “Selling 100,000 electrified cars in one year is an important milestone, but this is just the beginning for us. Since the introduction of the BMW i3 2013, we’ve delivered over 200,000 electrified cars to our customers and by 2025, we will
offer 25 electrified models to our customers. Our early focus on electro-mobility has made this success possible – and electro- mobility will continue to be my measure for our future success.”
CELEBRATION To celebrate this milestone and commitment to electric driving, the company’s headquarters, the famous ‘four-cylinder building’ in Munich, was recently illuminated to look like four upright-standing batteries. During the illumination, the 100,000th electrified vehicle was handed over to the customer by Harald Krüger at the BMW Welt.
