[i]BMW is poised to give the go-ahead to a tiny Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) that will help to revolutionise city-centre driving. The rear-engined city car could be called Isetta and will first arrive in American showrooms in 2012.The project was created because of new Californian regulations (soon to be copied by 12 other US states) which require big car makers to sell between a few hundred and a few thousand ZEVs every year from 2012.
However, global sales of the new model are also likely, because BMW has decided that the concept will be ideal for sale in cities all around the world. Indeed, many European cities have already established low-emissions zones.
BMW chief Norbert Reithofer recently said the company “would be obliged to sell a Zero Emissions Vehicle under the US regulations and that a battery car was “the most likely answer”.
Reithofer also said that BMW could have built just a few hundred cars to meet the US regulations but admitted that the company was also wondering if it could use the basic concept “not just for an electric car but also for a range of city cars”. These cars would use petrol and diesel motors, and could even feature BMW motorcycle engines.
The Californian regulations state that ZEVs can either be a fuel cell or battery-powered vehicle with a range of over 200 miles, or an Advanced Technology, Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV) powered by a hybrid powertrain, by compressed natural gas (CNG) or by a methanol fuel cell.
BMW has yet to decide what badge the new Isetta will wear. “It could be BMW, Mini or another name,” Reithofer said. He also said that “co-operation [with another car maker] is possible” but stated that BMW would decide by the end of 2008 “whether to go it alone”.
Because the volumes are relatively low and the potential investment is high, sources in Germany say that BMW could also team up with Mercedes’ Smart division to work on a new vehicle.
BMW is said to be looking seriously at basing the new Isetta on a small zero-emissions concept developed by Austrian engineering powerhouse Magna Steyr. Magna already builds the BMW X3 and will build the Aston Martin Rapide.

1 mayo, 2008 a las 07:12Nunca pensé que un CS, pudiera servir como utilitario, y el resultado pudiera ser tan bueno… ¡¡¡Me encanta!!!! 1 mayo, 2008 a las 10:58Ese dibujo parece basado en un Volkswagen Up! 1 mayo, 2008 a las 11:39Uhm… el diseño de los [i]riñones[/i] me recuerda a unos labios, también a las barbas de una ballena…😀 🙁
De resto, ¡me encanta!1 mayo, 2008 a las 12:20Espero que lo hagan bien pequeñín. Si no en cuanto crezca con mas generaciones se van a quedar los de BMW con las ganas de hacer un nuevo modelo pequeño. Como no se inventen la serie -1… 1 mayo, 2008 a las 12:57no me gusta nada. lo veo demasiado bestia para ser un coche de esas dimensiones.

Since the release of its official strategy outline in September last year, media sources around the world have been speculating that BMW is looking at launching a new generation of ultra-efficient city cars. Then in March this year, BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer revealed that the carmaker was planning to establish a new environmental think-tank called ‘Project i,’ whose task would be to develop a number of solutions for a vehicle designed for congested city motoring.Project i has been designed to run independently to BMW and has been given until the middle of the next decade to develop a concrete solution for the city car. One of its key managers, Herbert Höltschl, has confirmed that BMW wants to eventually produce a zero-emissions vehicle for global consumption.
Germany’s AutoBild is reporting that BMW will develop a range of zero and low emissions vehicles in the future, and has even produced a rendering of a possible design for one of the new models. While the rendering draws obvious styling cues from the recent M1 Concept, Höltschl has revealed that the cars would look radically different from any past BMWs.
Some of the options BMW is looking at is to use motorbike engines, both petrol and diesel, as well as electric propulsion, with both two wheel pod vehicles and compact four-wheelers currently being considered. Development is still in the planning stages, with the first decision on the drive system to be made by the end of the year. Click here to see the image in full.

Esa es la filosofía de AutoBild. Eso sí, hay que reconocer que el frontal está muy bien.
