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.

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.”
