BMW is constantly at the forefront of driving innovation, as demonstrated by the dynamic BMW EfficientDynamics technology. Now standard across BMW’s new inventory, this innovative suite of features helps marry performance, power, and handling with optimal fuel economy and minimal environmental impact.
Understanding BMW’s EfficientDynamics Technology
Overview of BMW EfficientDynamics Innovation
EfficientDynamics is essentially a comprehensive suite of technical innovations, vehicle enhancements, and ingenious solutions designed by BMW to improve the efficiency of its vehicles. This covers practically every avenue you can think of, from refining vehicle designs to developing intelligent systems across its fleet, to promoting more efficient driving styles from BMW owners.
Pre-Journey Efficiency
Thought has been given as to how efficiency can be improved before the vehicle is even in motion. EfficientDynamics involves an overhaul and refinement of BMW vehicle design. Any additional weight can increase fuel consumption, so BMW uses more lightweight and stiff materials like carbon, aluminum, and magnesium alloys in vehicle construction.
Design focus prioritizes aerodynamics. Streamlined and optimized Air Performance Wheels, for example, effectively channel air along the flanks of the vehicle, improving its aerodynamics and, therefore, improving its efficiency.
Efficiency on the Road
Several intelligent features help reduce fuel consumption during a journey. ECO PRO mode, for example, looks to reduce fuel use by encouraging a more serene driving style. The parameters of the accelerator pedal and automatic transmission are altered, promoting a more sedate and less fuel-consuming drive. Energy-consuming systems like air conditioning or seat heating may also be reduced where appropriate.
Other in-journey technologies include:
- Engine-off coasting
- Driving style analysis
- Route-Ahead Assistant
After-Journey Analysis
Your BMW will collect data on your driving style and allow you to see how economically you have driven at the end of a journey. You will see the distance the vehicle covered in coasting, how long the motor was switched off by the vehicle’s Automatic Start/Stop function, and any sections of the journey where the vehicle was in ECO PRO mode.
Driving style analysis also offers handy situation-specific tips on how to adopt a more efficient driving style and conserve fuel. When in ECO PRO driving mode, your driving dynamics will be analyzed and evaluated across a range of categories, and relevant advice is displayed on the vehicle’s Control Panel.
Hybrid-Specific Functions
There are ECO PRO functions designed specifically for BMW’s plug-in hybrid vehicles. Anticipatory hybrid drive distributes the vehicle’s available electric energy across your journey when you activate route guidance in the navigation system.
BMW Electric
Consumption-optimized ECO PRO driving mode also helps reduce power consumption in BMW electric vehicles, again by promoting efficient driving styles to extend electric range. The Route-Ahead Assistant also works in tandem with the navigation system to offer advice, like tips on reducing speed in good time on certain parts of the route to avoid inefficient braking.
