28 The environmental impact of an automobile must be taken into consideration throughout its entire lifecycle. BMW consistently pursues comparative lifecycle analysis (eco-balance) for components as continuous optimization process within the product development phase. The goal is to design environment-friendly products. Lifecycle-analysis of components includes design and engineering operations, as much as it does manufacturing and assembly, sales & service, and final recycling of end-of-life vehicles. In compliance with ISO 14040 eco-balance guidelines, a detailed analysis is made of the potential environmental impact of each product. This leads to further improvements and recommendations. From the very beginning of the product development process, this analysis is consistently applied in designing BMW parts. Within the framework of this approach, a careful assessment is made to determine, for example, whether steel should be replaced with other materials, e.g. aluminum, magnesium, or plastics, to reduce vehicle weight and lower fuel consumption as well as exhaust emissions. The goal is it to minimize the environmental impact of the automobile over the entire product lifecycle to meet the needs of human health and our natural habitat. BMW fleet fuel consumption for new registered vehicles in Germany (DIN 1/3 mix, weighted according to number of vehicles) 120% 110% 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% VALVETRONIC: Revolutionary engine design ’78 ’80 ’82 ’84 ’86 ’88 ’90 ’92 ’94 ’96 ’98 ’00 ’05 Introduction of catalytic converter VDA commitment: Reduce fleet consumption by 25 percent from 1990 to 2005 During the entire lifecycle of an automobile, the environmental impact is highest during the use phase. BMW product planning and development is aimed at reducing environmental impact for the total lifecycle of the product. In addition to air pollution, negative environmental effects include noise emissions and the results of traffic accidents. The BMW Group concentrates on continuously lowering average fleet consumption to meet the voluntary German/European automobile industry commitments. For example, the VDA (Association of the German Automotive Industry) agreed to reduce 2005 fleet consumption by 25 percent compared to 1990 figures. In 2000, BMW average fleet consumption was nearly 22 percent lower than 1990.The ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers Association) and the EU Commission have endorsed the goal of reducing CO 2 emissions in the European fleet to 140g/km (approx. 25%) between 1995 and 2008.This progress is supported by BMW 4-cylinder aluminum engine block with VALVETRONIC; BMW 3-series compact - 25% New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) (for comparison converted into the previous DIN 1/3 mix)
high-tech innovations like the new VALVETRONIC technology developed by BMW. VALVETRONIC electronically controls intake valves and eliminates the need for conventional throttle valves.This effectively lowers fuel consumption by around 10 percent based on EU standards. In actual driving conditions, additional savings of around 15 percent are possible compared to the previous model with a performance increase of up to 20 percent. The first BMW engine equipped with VALVETRONIC technology is the new 1.8-liter four-cylinder unit built at the BMW plant in Hams Hall. Featured in the latest BMW 316ti compact model, this engine already complies with the tough EU4 emission standards.The new BMW 7-series will also use advanced VALVETRONIC technology. By the end of 2002, VALVETRONIC will be standard in all BMW cars equipped with V-8 or 12-cylinder engines.
