BMW Chairman Oliver Zipse explains his company’s roadmap for becoming a worldwide leader in e-mobility and the circular economy.
“Our ambition is to build the greenest electric vehicles in our industry – from raw materials, the supply chain, and production up to recycling”, Zipse told DLD founder Steffi Czerny, adding that this included CO2 neutral production facilities as well as a “secondary first” strategy when it comes to using repurposed materials whenever possible.

He joined the company in 1991 and he has held various responsibilities in development, technical planning and production.
