THE BMW i8 RESCUE GUIDELINE.
EDITORIAL.
With BMW i, the future is finally picking up speed. The BMW i3 and BMW i8 are garnering substantial interest, and the production team is
working under intense pressure to keep up with demand. Overall, growth rates for electric vehicles have been soaring since 2012. Therefore,
the recovery of vehicles involved in an accident and fitted with a high-voltage battery is expected to become more and more of an issue in
the years to come for rescue crews such as yourself. The BMW i8 rescue manual will help to make sure you are well prepared.
The German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) has drawn up FAQ list of key recommendations for on-site emergency team
operations. This list addresses general questions relating to the potential dangers of vehicles equipped with high-voltage systems. However,
as with conventional vehicles, different models have specific requirements. This also applies to the BMW i8, with a high-performance plug-in
hybrid system that combines the benefits of electric motors and petrol engines.
We will explain exactly what this means, as well as the resulting recommendations for you. You can rest assured that our engineers have been
focusing on the safety of rescue crews since the BMW i8 entered development.
In close collaboration with a host of experts, we have created two documents that are designed to instruct you on how to behave at the
scene of an accident: the rescue guidelines and the rescue data sheet.
Both documents are available to download free of charge from BMW at the bottom of the following websites:

These documents are also supplemented by our BMW i8 rescue manual. The aim of this manual is to clearly present the BMW i8 and its
key safety features. Please use the manual to gain a general overview. More detailed and binding instructions for specific accidents – which
we hope are rare – can be found in the rescue data sheet and guidelines.

THE BMW i8 AT A GLANCE.
THE BMW i8 IS THE MOST ADVANCED SPORTS CAR.
AND THAT GOES FOR ITS SAFETY TOO.
For the first time, a sports car takes a holistic approach to sustainability throughout the value chain: carbon fibre production and vehicle
assembly take place using 100% electricity produced from renewable sources.
From the outset, the BMW i8 was conceived as a plug-in hybrid drive. Unlike electric motors integrated retroactively, this makes the
BMW eDrive technology an elementary part of the vehicle concept. And this holistic approach was applied to the entire architecture:
the LifeDrive concept of the BMW i8 was specifically geared towards the vehicle’s sporty character and, therefore, towards top driving
performance.
Furthermore, the development of the LifeDrive architecture and its specific incarnation in the BMW i8 took into account the latest findings
in safety and accident research, as well as the requirements of international crash test procedures.
THE RESULT:
The BMW i8 sets new standards in safety too.
