SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY The division uses 3D printing and CNC machining for component reproduction, while quality assurance processes ensure parts meet original specifications. Thomas Becker, Head of Sustainability and Mobility at BMW Group, contextualises the broader strategy.“ We are consistently driving the issue of sustainability with our innovations. The current raw materials debate also validates our drive towards a circular economy.” He adds:“ We want to make the best possible use of the raw materials in our end-of-life vehicles and recycle them in the production of new vehicles.”
Heritage meets innovation BMW Group Classic’ s technicians combine traditional methods with contemporary diagnostic equipment. Complete ground-up restorations often involve vehicles of significant historical value. The supply chain implications are challenging. Sourcing rare materials requires extensive supplier relationships for bespoke components. At the same time, technical documentation supports certified classic workshops globally, extending supply chain capabilities efficiently.
