Hybrid: the best of both worlds.

The concept behind BMW ActiveHybrid.

BMW ActiveHybrid represents all future BMW hybrid technologies and plays a major role in BMW EfficientDynamics. The aim of BMW ActiveHybrid is to produce up to twenty percent less fuel consumption and emission levels as well as provide the highest level dynamics compared with any similar vehicle.
For BMW, the term hybrid represents the intelligent management of energy flows within the vehicle.
Based on a modular hybrid drive system, optimally chosen hybrid components are integrated tailored to the vehicle type. The BMW Concept 7 Series ActiveHybrid comes with an intelligent symbiosis of the V8 cylinder petrol engine and electric drive as a mild hybrid concept. This allows it be applied to different types of BMW vehicles without diluting their different characters.
