BMW Reaches Series Production Milestone with Natural Fiber Composites

BMW has now reached the point where it can mass-produce materials made from natural fibers, which is a significant leap forward in moving towards more eco-friendly manufacturing methods for its upcoming vehicle models. This technology was developed alongside the Swiss clean-tech company Bcomp and has already demonstrated durability and performance in racing environments like Formula E and the BMW M4 GT4. The use of these natural fiber composites by BMW signifies a dedication to lowering CO2 emissions, with preliminary tests indicating reductions as high as 40% compared to standard carbon fiber components.
