BMW India celebrated World Environment Day with its i8, the most progressive sports car of the 21st century, driving on the streets of Delhi with the FAME India Eco Drive 2015 programme.

The i8, which won the coveted ‘World Green Car Award’ at the World Car Awards 2015, was the highlight among 46 hybrid and electric vehicles present at the rally and 14 vehicles displayed. Philipp von Sahr, president, BMW Group India, said, “The world we live in is changing and a changing world constantly demands new ideas. The global automotive industry is witnessing a paradigm shift from the conventional combustion engine to sustainable mobility solutions. And, so is India. This iconic change is inevitable. At BMW, we are constantly working to create cutting-edge mobility solutions for the future. With growing urbanization and increasing environmental challenges, the BMW i8 is the perfect solution to the mobility needs of the Indian luxury consumer living in the upcoming megacities of the country. We strongly support platforms like the ‘FAME Eco Drive Rally’ which encourage mass scale adoption of green mobility.”
