This brand new BMW compact, the Megacity Vehicle precisely, it uses a structure called the "LifeDrive, plastic reinforced with carbon fiber joint CRFP, alloy that may enable to match the values of the rigidity of a steel frame halving the mass with respect to an aluminum structure.
The engine will power the BMW Vehicle Megacity and placed into the back of the car itself and will be able to deliver well 136 hp (100 kW) maximum power with a range of 150 km, which would significantly increase autonomy (as the maximum power of rest) where the electric motor should be combined with conventional internal combustion engine, thus providing the customer with a hybrid of more traditional mold.
