ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “Bmw Italia is ready to close another very important year and consisting in terms of quantitative and qualitative results. The Bmw Group has a clear strategy and solid foundations. These strengths ensure flexibility and resilience in a macroeconomic and geopolitical scenario that remains complex. In the spring of 2026 we will bring all this to a higher level with the introduction of the Neue Klasse on the market. The Neue Klasse is the ultimate expression of the Bmw brand. And from iX3, we will establish new standards. Our technologically neutral approach continues, therefore, to prove itself successful and allows us always to offer concrete answers to the needs of customers through all the available technologies: ever more efficient petrol and diesel engines, plug-in hybrids, electric and from 2028 also hydrogen”. So Massimiliano Di Silvestre, president and CEO of Bmw Italia. “Thanks to these consistent numbers, we have started to achieve our CO2 target for the fleet even in 2025, just as we have consistently done in recent years, without derogations or purchase of green credits as other car manufacturers do. The seriousness of our approach, the results we are pursuing and our pragmatic and non-dogmatic vision have given us authoritativeness over the years, to ask with conviction to Europe to rethink the goals for 2030 and 2035″, he added. “The EU’s decision to review the total ban on sale of internal combustion engines in 2035 represents a decisive step for us. Thanks to this decision, which will be ratified by Parliament and the Council, manufacturers will no longer have to zero emissions, but reduce them by 90%, thus leaving room on the market even to models not fully electric or powered by hydrogen, such as plug-in hybrids and vehicles with extender range. The remaining 10% of emissions must be offset by car manufacturers using low-emission steel or using sustainable fuels such as e-fuel or advanced biofuel such as the HVO100 on which we are working as a pilot country with a world leader like Eni. We really hope that this represents the beginning of a new era for the automotive. But according to us we must go beyond this vision that considers only emissions to the exhaust of the car. To achieve climate goals and create effective regulations on CO2 emissions, we offer a global vision that takes into account the entire carbon footprint of the vehicle and its supply chain,” said Di Silvestre.(ITALPRESS). -Photo: Bmw-print office
