BMW offers shoppers a full range of fuel-saving choices If you're like most folks entering the new premium car market, chances are you're at least considering a new fuel-saving technology or alternative fuel-powered model. If that's the case, chances are you've also noticed that somne automakers seem focused more closely on certain fuel-saving vehicles than others. Is a cican diesel right for you? What about a bybrid? Or maybe, you're better witb a modemn and super-efficient version of the tradi- tional gas engine. ABOVE: BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept Car - a fuIl-hybrid, powered by a three- cylinder turbodiesel and two elec- tric motors. Overali system output is 356 hp, maximum torque and 590 Ib-ft. Point is, there are plenty of options available-- though many automakers would have you believe the one they happen to seil is the best. 0f course, there is no 'best' answer when it cornes to reducing fuel usage and emissions. Electric, gasoline, diesel and hybrid power aIl have their bene- fits-- but they've all got their down- faîls, too. "It's too early to, pick winners," says Tom Baloga, BMW Group's VP of engineering. "We caution regulators and lawmakers to, not pick winners and losers- and expect that there should be a mix available to let con- sumers decide" he says. That's just what BMW is doing. In addition to offering both advanced diesel and hybrid powered models today, they're also, developing both electric and hydrogen-powered vehi- dles for the future. By embracing a philosophy of giving consumers the choice, BMW ensures its customers can pursue energy independence in any manner they like. Whatever the choice, Balgoa stresses that customers will always get a BMW at the end of the day "Our absolute criteria is delivering the ulti- mate driving experience. Customers buying a BMW with better mileage, reduced emissions and improved comfort will always get the ultimate driving experience, which defines BMWs Efficient Dynamnics philoso- phy".
