Go to zero – Environmental Mission Statement
For all our products and mobility solutions we aspire to minimize environmental impacts, along the entire lifecycle. Compliance with environmental regulations and standards in addition to voluntary commitments is a basic prerequisite of our actions.

Air quality
We are committed to reducing air pollution through the introduction of not only more fuel efficient, lower emission combustion engines than before, but also committing to e-mobility as a solution for the future.
Environmental compliance
We aim to become a role model for a modern, transparent and successful enterprise in terms of integrity by installing and controlling effective management systems covering the environmental impacts of our mobility solutions.

Realising the future
It’s our social responsibility to create vehicles and services that provide a genuine benefit to people and that reduce our environmental impact. We’re dedicated to exploring new possibilities and turning them into reality with cleaner production, more recycling and alternative fuels.
Our committed approach to ensuring a better future is evident in every vehicle we produce.
