The home stretch on CHASING THE GREENEST CAR. Today’s episode is the end of the line for Anne Therese. Time to say goodbye! The search for the greenest car will continue, because if there is anything that Anne Therese, you, and we have learned from the previous episodes, it’s that we are a long way from our destination. The greenest car doesn’t exist yet, but there are ideas and visions of how it could look, feel, sound, and be produced. And there are people who have made this vision their mission.

CHASING THE GREENEST CAR #07 | Where can we innovate next? | BMW Podcast
We are almost at the end of our journey, but only almost. On the search for the greenest car, constant innovation is an important part of the BMW philosophy. The development of new ideas, new processes, new materials, and new solutions. We have plans and ideas for a sustainable future, of course, but which ideas haven’t we thought of yet? And which ideas are on the way? As you can see, there are still plenty of open questions, and Anne Therese is looking for answers. To find them, she calls Los Angeles from Munich, visits BMW Welt, and immerses herself in the history of sustainability at BMW at the BMW Museum. Join her and tune in!

CHASING THE GREENEST CAR #06 | How do we create a positive social impact? | BMW Podcast
Welcome back! In previous episodes, you have joined Anne Therese in a wide variety of places, met all kinds of BMW employees, and learned about their roles and projects. These all deal with sustainability at BMW. But this issue is so much bigger than the BMW universe in Munich. In a world where we increasingly face new social challenges, it is more important than ever that global companies recognize and embrace their social responsibility. It is simply not possible to act and produce completely sustainably in the future without an awareness of this responsibility and the action that needs to result. Social sustainability goes hand in hand with sustainable production. Anne Therese digs deeper.

04:45 How is BMW socially responsible?

CHASING THE GREENEST CAR #05 | Why do we need to think more ‘circular’? | BMW Podcast
Where does a circle begin? When you’re producing an audio documentary about sustainability and BMW, there’s no avoiding the topics of RE:THINK, RE:DUCE, RE:USE, and RE:CYCLE. These are the four principles of the circular economy and, as such, also form the core elements of this audio documentary. The circular economy’s aim is that existing materials and products are maintained, recycled, repaired and shared for as long as possible. Anne Therese wants to dive deeper into how this works and how close – or how far away – BMW already is to the goal of a circular economy. What might a “circular” vehicle look like? Let’s find out.
02:16 RE:THINK, RE:DUCE, RE:USE, RE:CYCLE
10:10 The importance of closed loops
19:21 What means remanufacturing?
21:16 What does a fully circular supply chain look like?
“The ‘greenest‘ electric car will be made by BMW.” – this is the company’s mission for the future. Is this future already within our grasp?

CHASING THE GREENEST CAR #04 | How do we design sustainability? | BMW Podcast
The search continues! Of course, vehicles are also about aesthetics, design – and love at first sight. But how much room for creativity is there when the goal is minimalism? We have to look into the future of vehicle design with fresh eyes. Anne Therese meets some of the creative minds who create a new aesthetic and design from the first lines on the page. She wants to learn from them how sustainability can be built into the design of a vehicle and the materials that are the most difficult to replace when creating the car of the future. What aesthetics lie behind radical reduction? And what responsibility do designers bear when it comes to a sustainable future? We will find out in this episode.

Customer Reviews
The Saturday morning kids show of auto podcasts
I’m with most other reviewers: this is the baby food version of an educational podcast about cars. Scripted and inoffensive to the point of blandness, the only info I took away from this series is that Sara is in Berlin and Jonathan seems permanently scarred by winters in New Hampshire.
This podcast shows how completely tone deaf BMW is. Instead of respecting listeners, this pablum comes off as both inauthentic and infuriating.
Boring
Not what I expected.
winter olympics
As I watch the olympics I see alot of BMW advertisement! will you do a show on their bobsleds? proce? technology? I'd love to know more!
