With the impact of new energy trends, BMW Group has launched a new electric strategy and new plug-in hybrid cars in recent years. Even so, BMW has not given up its investment in traditional internal combustion engines.

Klaus Froelich, director of BMW Group Development, said at an electric press conference in Munich that the best sales of electric vehicles (pure electric + plug-in hybrid) are currently expected to account for 30% of total sales by 2025, which means that at least 80% of vehicles will still need internal combustion engines. As a result, BMW predicts that diesel engines will survive for at least 20 years and gasoline engines will be active for at least 30 years.

"in many areas where charging facilities are weak, such as Russia, the Middle East and inland China, they will have to rely on gasoline vehicles for the next 10-15 years," he said. " BMW believes that pure electric cars will be popular in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai in China within a decade, while plug-in hybrids are preferred in Europe, which is mainly sold on the east and west coasts in the United States, but will still not be mainstream. "the transformation of electrification has been exaggerated. The cost of raw materials for batteries is very high and will continue to rise as demand increases."

Although BMW believes that internal combustion engines will still exist for a long time, they are also reducing the proportion of products. As for diesel, BMW will abandon its 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine because it would be too expensive to meet Europe's stringent emission standards. BMW will continue to develop four-cylinder and six-cylinder diesel engines, but they will have no more than three turbochargers.

"in order to meet the requirements of the new emission regulations, BMW invests a lot of money every year to upgrade its Vmurl 12 engines, especially in China. As a result, global sales of models carrying engine equipment are about 5000, including Rolls-Royce. Such cars often cost as much as several thousand dollars to upgrade." Froelich also revealed that BMW is working on a business example aimed at keeping the VMur8 engine.
