The BMW Group launches website for project i, the think tank for the sustainable mobility of the future
Munich. At www.project-i.com the BMW Group has created an online platform for information and news concerning the sustainable mobility of the future.
For an international audience, the English-language website outlines how the BMW Group is mastering the challenges of sustainable mobility. It provides an in-depth, up-to-the-minute insight into the various approaches and solutions, from the basic vision of e-mobility, specific test vehicles such as the MINI E and the BMW ActiveE, right through to the revolutionary LifeDrive concept of the Megacity Vehicle. Emphasis is also given to another key aspect of sustainable mobility: The development of solutions and services for the customer needs of tomorrow.
In addition, the website offers an overview of the public discussion and general developments in the field of sustainable mobility. The page incorporates relevant voices from the web, video clips and blog posts from around the world.
Via the integrated Twitter channel (www.twitter.com/bmwprojecti) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/bmw.project.i), users can subscribe to receive the latest news, contribute their own relevant links, and join in the discussion.
