The best of both worlds.
The concept behind BMW ActiveHybrid.
BMW ActiveHybrid is not just one single drivetrain, but a modular system that can be adapted to suit a variety of needs. This allows it be applied to different types of BMW vehicles without diluting their different characters. The key components are: an internal combustion engine, a transmission unit featuring two electric motors, the batteries, and the electronic control system.
BMW ActiveHybrid is a product of the Global Hybrid Cooperation, a strategic partnership between BMW, General Motors and Daimler set up with the aim of developing a completely new powertrain concept. Each of the partners in the project will use the results in their own different way. A BMW ActiveHybrid vehicle, therefore, will be a true BMW - and that means maximum driving pleasure.
