BMW is integrating natural fiber composites into its series production vehicles. This marks a significant step in sustainable automotive manufacturing.
Developed with Bcomp, these flax-based components aim to reduce CO₂e emissions in future models. The use of natural fibers can lower CO₂e emissions by up to 40% compared to traditional carbon fiber components.
This initiative follows successful applications in BMW's motorsport division, including the BMW M4 GT4. The materials offer a high-performance, lightweight, and eco-friendly alternative, supporting the transition towards more sustainable vehicle production.
