The main reason why electric cars are number one in today’s car market is Environmentally friendly cars that reduce CO2 emissions to zero. However, for a very broad target group of electric cars they are not as innocent as they are praised.

Although they are ‘green’ compared to ‘classic’ cars with internal combustion engines, electric cars are used in many ways, from production to the production of electricity that they use as fuel. still no carbon zero formation. This ultimately means that they also fall into the ‘non-green’ category.

Many auto giants will move to fully electric cars by 2030-2040 in line with their carbon neutral targets.

This is now the automotive industry’s biggest target. It will produce fully electrically in the coming years bring the end of internal combustion engines.

In fact, in recent days there has been a situation that has made noise in the sector. Toyota’s CEO, Akio Toyoda, who opposed this transition, which contains controversial moves and statements in its all-electric movement, resigned.

BMW, on the other hand, is one of the brands moving very fast in the transformation in the sector, and the latest statements show that the company is taking its 2030 targets very seriously;

According to statements by Thomas Becker, the company’s Vice President of Sustainability and Mobility Strategies, BMW is in line with its sustainability goals. aims to make the entire supply chain green.

Saying that they have converted the energy used in their factories where production takes place into renewable energy, Becker said that is one of the company’s goals for 2030. reduce the carbon footprint by 80% for all energy consumption emphasizes that too

However, one of the most important steps is the part that includes the supply chain. It aims to reduce the supply chain footprint by 20% across all materials used, from aluminum to steel.

While it may seem like a small percentage, it also represents the change in sectors covering different areas of production and raw materials. This percentage actually indicates a significant decrease..

Building a ‘truly green’ automotive industry, not just the batteries, but the whole vehicle the carbon footprint of all raw materials must be taken into account. Becker argues that in order to fulfill the commitments made to comprehensive agreements such as the Paris Climate Agreement in the future, the ‘greenness’ of cars must be evaluated with more extensive reporting.

There is also a formation that emphasizes transparency at all stages of the automotive supply chain; Catena X

Goals such as sustainability and zero carbon are not just about companies. All countries around the world have goals and requirements in this direction. as it looks now In the future, companies will be able to respond to transparent data requests from official institutions. needs.

A country asks a car company ‘are you really carbon neutral?’ To be able to answer when asked and to be able to Provide a transparent data flow across all supply chains The established Catena-X has become one of the most important players, according to Becker.

Emphasizing that more than 130 companies are currently participating, Becker said such steps have been taken.that the sector may be ‘truly green’ for years to come He says he will help too.
