BMW Australia CEO, Marc Werner, has called for affirmative action from the Australian government with regards to accelerating the local introduction of low emissions vehicles and their related infrastructure.

At an event last week, Mr Werner told assembled motoring media “No more discussions! I call on Mr Malcolm Turnbull and the federal government to finally action a robust policy to support the introduction of low emission vehicles to the Australian market.”

Australia trails numerous other global markets on low emissions policy, with some governments offering purchase incentives, registration, or road tax reductions for electric and plug-in hybrid owners to encourage the adoption of low emission vehicles. 

Locally BMW has already begun to introduce a range of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles though the BMW i sub brand as well as with i Performance plug-in variants of existing models including the 3 Series and X5.
