Security
Highly anticipated, yet surprising end impact tests show that the BMW ActiveE, as planned, meets high safety requirements demanded by engineers. And this applies not only to the occupants, but also to the people who come to help.

One of the requirements is that everything in the BMW ActiveE must be absolutely safe and free of electric shock even after an accident. To do this, an electronic system continuously monitors all important parameters such as acceleration sensors of airbags or charge level and the temperature of the lithium-ion cells in high voltage batteries. In critical situations, the electronic system ensures the battery disconnect the vehicle's electrical system and the discharge of all battery cells componentes.Las in sturdy boxes will withstand numerous and stringent testing during the production process. Are also in better protected points of BMW ActiveE: behind another structure impacts on the front, in the central tunnel and behind the rear seats, instead of the fuel tank. Therefore not surprising that in the extensive impact testing expected results are achieved. The BMW ActiveE is as safe as other BMW models. Really sure.

Comfort
For every kilometer traveled, the BMW ActiveE offers the high comfort of a BMW 1 Series Coupe: four seats, leather, 200 liters of storage capacity, climate control and seat heating. Also pampers the driver and passengers with the convenience that only an electric vehicle can offer.
No more the clutch, change gear or experience the occasional associated movements, since the electric motor uses a single gear for all speeds. Just stop in sudden stops. When you lift off the throttle, the BMW ActiveE slow down, to 60 kW (81 hp) electric motor,

which happens to act as a generator. The recovered energy in this way increases by up to 20% traffic autonomy urbano.Una Once home, the BMW ActiveE can connect to the charging station in seconds. And before the next trip, you can use the iPhone ™ app to heat or cool the interior of the BMW ActiveE and adapt well to your desire temperature.

Daily Versatility
Suitable for every single day. BMW has taken the electric vehicle to the appropriate maturity in design to overcome the most important test: your everyday routine.
How many miles you drive each day? Even in America and certainly in Europe, most people travel less than 50 miles daily from home to work and vice versa. With a range of 160 kilometers, the BMW ActiveE offers sufficient reserve for possible detours. After all, the BMW ActiveE normally has enough space for group outings and shopping day. With four seats and a luggage capacity of 200 liters, is comparable to the BMW Series 1 Coupé.En route, the electronic system is always aware autonomy. The Professional navigation system series provides information on public charging stations and calculates a proper path if needed. With one press of a button activates the Eco Pro mode comfort features such as seat heating are disabled depending on the demand, while the screen will advise on maintaining optimum speed for maximum autonomy .

History
The goal of electric mobility and, therefore, is not sustainable has begun to fascinate now. Decades of research testify to the history of the future of BMW. Come and see.
40 years ago BMW engineers turned the electric vehicle idea actually. To coincide with the Olympic Games in 1972, became a BMW 1602 in a friendly escort vehicle environment for the marathon. Although out of competition, the first electrically powered BMW successfully ran a distance of over 40 kilometers, showing that we were on the right track from the principio.El next milestone was the 1991 BMW E1. The prototype used not only for propulsion electricity without emissions, but also the BMW Brake Energy Regeneration system. This technology in which braking energy is converted into electricity is now included in the usual manner in virtually all BMW.Sin models however, only when developed lithium-ion high-efficiency was possible efficiency vehicle with BMW ActiveE. It is part of the tradition of developing creative and demanding BMW, and also points the way towards a mobile future without emissions.

Production
In BMW, sustainable mobility begins before the vehicle leaves the road, with responsible use of materials and production processes that save energy. In all vehicles and also, of course, in the BMW ActiveE.
In 2010, the BMW Group was recognized for the fifth consecutive time as the most sustainable automobile company in the world. The distinction, awarded under the "Dow Jones Sustainability Index", not only believes our success in terms of optimized emission values in the vehicles themselves, but

also the development and production also play an important papel.He Here are two examples: in the BMW plant in Steyr (Austria), the production is without wastewater since 2007. Water is treated for reuse in the production. And in the process known as "design for recycling" are selected only those materials that have a small impact on resources and are suitable for recycling in a phase posterior.La BMW Leipzig plant, which produces the BMW ActiveE is also setting standards. This thermal transfer wheels recover up to 80% of the process heat, and the outer areas are not held with use of lawnmowers, but with the presence of sheep, accompanied by 36 different birds.
