The electric BMW ActiveE will be used as a VIP vehicle at the 2012 London Olympics.
German automaker BMW has revealed that at least 200 of the VIP vehicles headed to London for the 2012 Olympic games will be of the electric-only variety. According to BMW, the key focus is to make London’s Olympic Games the “greenest ever” and a couple hundred zero-emissions vehicles will help the city meet its goal.
Though the majority of the fleet will consist of, ahem, so-called “clean diesels,” the high-profile vehicles of the 2012 Olympic Games will be the 200 BMW ActiveE and Mini E electric cars.
