BMW unveils new tech to force hybrid cars to electric-only
German luxury automaker BMW said that it can force its hybrid cars to switch to electric-only mode in polluted areas, aligning with certain EU cities' attempts to create emissions-free zones. âThe car switches off the combustion engine automatically,â Klaus FrÃ¶hlich, BMWâs board member for development, said. BMW is currently demonstrating the technology to local authorities in German cities.
