00:00 The X2 model range marks the next step of the BMW Group's relentless pursuit for innovations addressing sustainability aspects of cars.
00:09 We pursue the vision of circular economy with the aim of keeping raw materials within a loop for as long as possible.
00:16 We pair this with ever-reducing CO2 emissions in all BMW plants.
00:22 Looking at the figures, this pays off.
00:26 Vehicles are manufactured using roughly 25% recycled and reused material on average.
00:32 The secondary first approach is intended to gradually increase this figure to 50%.
00:37 Using secondary materials instead of primary materials brings about a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions of around 80% for aluminium and up to 70% for steel.
00:49 Floor mats in the iX2 are made by monomaterial in order to achieve a higher recycling quality at the end of its life cycle.
00:56 The BMW Group is the first automotive manufacturer worldwide to use mat paints made from biomass instead of crude oil at its European plants.
01:06 The fifth generation BMW eDrive technology in the iX2 sets standards in terms of efficiency and conserving resources.
01:14 This development by the BMW Group, including the design principle of electric motors, helps us avoid rare earth elements.
01:21 BMW purchases cobalt and lithium, which are acquired for the high-voltage batteries, from certified vendors and supplies the materials to the firms itself.
01:30 This way, we ensure our self-defined benchmark regarding sustainability aspects across the whole supply chain is met.
01:38 These aspects are just a glimpse into our sustainability measures, which go even further.
01:44 you
