Resolution Criteria

This market resolves based on BMW Group's official fleet-wide CO2 emissions targets and actual reported emissions. Resolution will be determined by comparing BMW's stated emissions reduction goals against their achieved results, measured in grams of CO2 per kilometer (g/km) under the WLTP test procedure, as reported in official BMW Group press releases and annual reports.

The market tracks BMW's progression toward net-zero emissions by 2050, with interim milestones at 2030 and 2035. By 2035, BMW plans to reduce its CO2e emissions by at least 60 million tonnes compared with 2019 levels. By 2050 at the latest, BMW wants CO₂e emissions from its value chain as a whole to fall by 90 percent, using 2019 as the baseline.

Background

BMW finished 2025 with 90 grams of CO2 per kilometer, below its 92.9 target. The figure came in at 90.0 grams per kilometre according to WLTP (2024: 99.5 grams per kilometre), representing a reduction of approximately 9.5% in these emissions compared to 2024. From 2027, new emissions and exhaust regulations will come into force in the EU. BMW expects EVs to account for 50% of its annual sales by 2030.

Considerations

BMW's emissions reduction strategy spans multiple approaches beyond electrification. The company is actively promoting low-carbon alternative fuels such as HVO100 for diesel models and eFuels for gasoline cars, both of which can cut emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil fuels. Beginning in 2028, hydrogen fuel cells will join as a fifth drivetrain option with the iX5 60H xDrive.
