first-ever electric vehicle designed, developed and manufactured on the circular economy at IAA 2021</h2><p> </p><p>‘<em>the car will always have a future as it embodies individual mobility, but we all know it needs to become completely sustainable,</em>’ states domagoj dukec, head of BMW design, exclusively to designboom ahead of the world premier of the BMW i vision circular at IAA 2021. ‘<em>our focus on sustainability shows the topic is vital to our industry; sustainability is not an option. the vision car creates a highly emotional, aesthetic concept of how a luxury product can credibly be 100% sustainable.</em>’</p><p> </p><p>imagined for the year 2040, the <strong><a href=https://www.designboom.com/tag/bmw/ >BMW</a></strong> i vision circular is a compact, <strong><a href=https://www.designboom.com/tag/electric-automobiles/ >all-electric</a></strong> vehicle that fuses sustainability and luxury. the principles of circular economy guides the design, made using 100% recycled materials and being powered by an equally as recyclable electric battery. this circularity even extends from the design of the four meter-long, four seater <strong><a

RE:DUCE, RE:USE and RE:CYCLE are further apparent across the exterior: the aerodynamically optimized black bumper is manufactured from recycled plastic with a sophisticated marble appearance; and the slightly transparent tires are made from certified, sustainably cultivated natural rubber. colored recycled rubber particles are added to the tyre compound for strengthening, but also create a pleasing terrazzo effect.</p></article></div></div><div class=fullwidth-image> <img decoding=async src=data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 width height

next-gen user interface. at first glance, this looks like a piece of jewellery. a 3D-printed, nerve-like structured crystal body hovers as a V-shaped sculpture from the naturally treated wooden dashboard. this is mirrored on either side of the warm, wooden steering wheel. the interfaces react to hand movements with an enthralling lighting effect. it controls the key information projected at the bottom of the windscreen. this not only removes physical displays but also ensures the driver needs not to look anywhere bar the road in-front. this ‘phygital’ experience exemplifies how

shy-tech – as it is clever design. it adds richness to the space whilst also layering more functions and reducing materials,</em>’ concludes domagoj dukec, head of BMW design, for the world premier at
