We are not only working to make our vehicles generate fewer emissions and be more efficient, but also evolving the way we produce them at our plants around the world.
We work intensively to close material loops and increase the proportion of recycled materials to conserve primary resources, avoid waste and thus also reduce CO₂ emissions. In development we follow the "Design for Environment" approach: As early as the design stage of our vehicles, we reconsider the composition of all materials used and examine possibilities for more sustainable alternatives. In addition to CO₂-reduced steel and aluminium, innovative recyclates are already in use, for example boor dow handles in the production of which fossil raw materials have been replaced by biomethane and pyrolysis oil from recycled used tyres.
