Abstract
In 2008, the BMW Group launched the new BMW X6 XDrive. In line with the BMW EfficientDynamics Strategy, the BMW Group developed a full hybrid powertrain for the X6 to complement the highly efficient gasoline and diesel powertrains. In this paper the authors discuss the technical targets, the implementation, and the achieved results. Accentuating the BMW “Sheer Driving Pleasure” was the goal behind the selection of the operating strategies in both the electrical and conventional drive modes. Despite the additional weight of the hybrid components the BMW typical dynamics were maintained and even improved. The CO2 emissions were significantly reduced at the same time.
