BMW adopts natural fiber composites for series production models to cut CO₂e emissions
Developed in collaboration with Swiss clean tech company Bcomp, these flax-based lightweight components aim to help BMW reduce CO₂e emissions in future vehicle models.
BMW has announced plans to utilize natural fiber composites in its series production models after successful application in racing cars, the automaker said in a press release on June 17. After years of development and research, these composites, derived from renewable raw materials, have been deemed suitable for meeting the strict requirements of roof structures in vehicle homologation.
