Munich. On July 16, 2020 at 4 pm (CET), BMW Welt is inviting fans to a virtual panel discussion about the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, the first race series for all-electric single-seater vehicles. This year, following the enforced break due to Covid-19, the series will resume from August 5 with a total of six races, all in Berlin. 

High-profile guests for this exclusive panel discussion will include Jamie Reigle, CEO of Formula E, Stefan Ponikva, Vice President Brand Experience BMW, Maximilian Günther, BMW i Andretti Motorsport Driver, Rupert Buchsteiner, Vice President at Magna International, Andreas Buchner, Head of Development High Voltage electric Machine and eDrive Unit, BMW Group, and Rudolf Dittrich, General Manager BMW Motorsport Vehicle Development. Anyone can take part in the event at the FUTURE FORUM by BMW Welt free of charge via social media channels or the BMW Welt website and get insights into the concept and vision of Formula E as well as its technical background and impact. The event will be hosted by Nicki Shields, TV presenter and journalist. 

Formula E – the pioneer in motor racing.

To kick off the event, Jamie Reigle will talk about the pioneering spirit of Formula E, followed by the first topic for the panel discussion: the vision and success factors of Formula E. The panel will then consider the following questions: How did Formula E come about? What is the basic concept of the platform? Are efficiency and energy management its success factors? What makes Formula E different from other race series and why are there so many familiar faces from the other race series? The panel will also look at the future of Formula E and the impact of Covid-19 on the motor racing industry. 

The second part of the event will focus on the technology of the new race series: Why is Formula E an innovation lab for the BMW Group and an important player in the development of future mobility? How does BMW series production benefit from the rapid developments in Formula E and which specific product innovations can car owners expect to see in the future? The experts will then be available to take questions from online participants. 

The discussions will be held in English. For more information on the event and the live stream go to https://www.bmw-welt.com/futureforum.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
