BMW Fleet All Electric and AWD

http://www.greencarreports.com/news/...ers-awd-report

"As a result, BMW has concluded that it must convert all its vehicles to some configuration of plug-in hybrid, lower their weight dramatically to compensate for larger battery packs, and make them far more aerodynamic."



"The drivetrain of these future BMWs will consist of an electric motor on the rear axle, and another that powers the front wheels.

A front-mounted combustion engine both generates electricity as a range extender and can be clutched in to provide torque to assist the front motor under limited circumstances."
