20 Feb 2022

Borusan Otomotiv, one of Türkiye's leading companies in sustainability and electric mobility, and Borusan EnBW Energy, Turkey's leading wind energy company, within the Borusan Group, offer clean energy use opportunity to electric BMW car owners. With the cooperation, those who purchase an electric BMW from Borusan Otomotiv will be able to use the I-REC (International Renewable Energy) certified electricity obtained from Borusan EnBW Enerji's sustainable energy sources at advantageous prices for car charging and domestic consumption.

In line with the "Zero Carbon" economy and targets, electric transformation is taking place in the automotive industry, as in many sectors. In order to truly combat the climate crisis, which has increasingly increased its impact in recent years, the energy used by electric vehicles must be provided from renewable sources. Within the framework of the importance given by Borusan Otomotiv and Borusan EnBW Enerji to sustainability and environmentally friendly energy use, BMW brand electric car users will be able to use Borusan EnBW Enerji's I-REC (International Renewable Energy) certified electricity, obtained entirely from renewable energy sources, at advantageous prices, both for their domestic consumption and while charging their electric cars.

Borusan Otomotiv Chief Executive Officer Hakan Tiftik stated that the cooperation with Borusan EnBW Energy is a new level in their work to reduce carbon emissions; "As the climate crisis and environmental awareness in society increases, we see that the demand for electric and hybrid cars is also increasing rapidly. As Borusan Otomotiv, thanks to our cooperation with Borusan EnBW Enerji, we offer a carbon-neutral life opportunity to our environmentally friendly users who own a BMW with electric and plug-in hybrid technology. Our customers will be able to convert the energy they use when charging their cars or at home, if they wish, into certified clean energy obtained from renewable sources by Borusan EnBW Enerji. I believe that with this effort, another meaningful step will be taken in the fight against the climate crisis." he said.

Borusan Otomotiv, one of the first companies to take the initiative in the automotive industry in order to reduce the carbon footprint caused by mobility, aims to increase the share of electric BMW cars in total sales to 75 percent in 2030.

Borusan EnBW Enerji General Manager Enis Amasyalı stated that the global climate crisis has reached a level that none of us can ignore and that awareness of this issue is increasing in society; "Developments in the field of electrification will create a radical change not only in electric vehicles but also in many different areas. Our production portfolio is completely based on renewable energy sources. We are also Turkey's leading production company in wind energy. The decarbonization effect of electric vehicles will only be possible if the electricity used by these vehicles is carbon neutral. We are happy to be a partner of this special study aimed at reducing the carbon footprints of Borusan Otomotiv customers both while driving and in their homes. As Borusan EnBW Enerji, we are happy to be a partner in this special study on the climate crisis in line with our sustainability strategy in the focus areas of climate, people and innovation."
