BMW to put e-fuels in cars leaving the factory

Beginning in 2028, BMW’s petrol-powered cars built in Germany will leave the factory filled with eFuel. This synthetic gasoline, compatible with engines designed for E10 is expected to have up to a 90% lower carbon footprint than conventional fossil fuel. It will work not only in new cars but also in existing ones without modification, provided the engine supports E10.

Some automakers claim battery EVs are the only feasible way to curb emissions. Well, BMW begs to differ. Munich argues there are multiple paths to decarbonization. In addition to investing in hydrogen, it believes cleaner fuels remain a viable solution to reduce CO₂ emissions.

Since the start of this year, diesel cars assembled in Germany have already been rolling off the line with HVO100 in their tanks. This renewable diesel is made from hydrotreated vegetable oil derived from biological residues and waste materials such as used cooking oil and animal fats.
