Mobility is basic need of mankind, a necessity for the economy desired
by society and providing a key to our future.

Precisely this is why the BMW Group for many years has been supporting efforts
to secure mobility for the future as a whole. This means assuming
responsibility where we are not directly responsible for the consequences of
our activities as a car maker, but can nevertheless, through our skills,
provide answers for the complex system of transportation.

Mobility in a modern society is always a compromise between different,
in some cases contradictory, interests and demands. Joining forces with other
parties in the government, in economy and society, the BMW Group seeks to
provide a common concept and development of mobility. The BMW Group's
commitment to Cooperative Traffic Management ? particularly in the Munich
region, but also beyond for example, now looks back at a long tradition.
And to secure mobility the BMW Group, in its own area, focuses both on current
issues of mobility involving transport and the environment as well as research
issues looking at how mobility will develop in future.

As a car maker the BMW Group has a vital interest in maintaining mobility also
in future. The development of sustainable mobility is therefore a key element
of the BMW Group's corporate strategy, since proper maintenance of the
environment is just as essential to the prosperity of society. The BMW Group
willingly faces this responsibility to society also through the development of
hydrogen drive serving to preserve resources and reduce emissions to
a minimum.

Despite all their diversity and different aspects, the activities pursued by
the BMW Group ultimately have one objective: To make sure that mobility remains
a driving force for growth and development also in future and that sheer
driving pleasure is maintained also from the perspective of sustainability.
