Generally efforts were then made to try to use environmentally friendly recycled materials which were then processed in such a way that they could be used in the vehicle production, and coupled with the use of electric motor propulsion. This is what many automotive industry players, such as the BMW Group, have done.

For example, 3D printing on the dashboard, reduces the use of glue and creates a unique one-piece design with embedded crystal materials. Then, instead of the traditional touch screen in the center of the dashboard, the information system is located above the instrument panel at the bottom of the windshield.

“BMW has applied circularity to its vehicle concept from the start when designing the BMW iVision Circular. That is why this visionary vehicle is full of innovative ideas that combine Sustainability with an innovative and inspiring design aesthetic and we call this approach Circular Design,” explains Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BMW | BMW.CO.ID | BMWBLOG | ID.MOTOR1 | ]
