Munich. Josef Haberl, head of BMW Group vehicle safety and
internationally recognised specialist in this field, has been honoured
with a very exceptional award shortly before his retirement. Haberl was
the first person to be presented with the so-called Top Safety Pick
award by the American Insurance Institute For Highway Safety (IIHS) -
an institute comparable with the European EuroNCAP organisation. This
prize is normally awarded to vehicles if they achieve five star status -
i.e. maximum points - for their positive characteristics in terms of
passive safety. Now, for the first time, a person has received this
prize - Josef Haberl. Adrian Lund, President of IIHS (on the right on
the enclosed photo), presented this special trophy to the BMW
specialist at the Vehicle Research Center in Ruckersville/Virginia.

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 are available at www.bmw.de/wltp and at www.dat.de/co2/.
