CLIMATE IMPACT

THE CO2e FOOTPRINT OF THE MINI COOPER.

MINI Vehicle Footprint - Circular Economy

Every vehicle leaves a CO2 footprint throughout its entire life-cycle – from procurement and production to usage and recycling or disposal of raw materials and other materials. CO2 equivalents (CO2e) are a unit of measurement to standardise the climate impact of different greenhouse gases, such as methane.

Emissions generated along the supply chain, by transport logistics and upstream energy provision, are reported as CO2e. Electricity produced from regenerative in-house generation systems, direct supply contracts and certified proof of origin are all taken into account when allowing for electricity from renewable energy sources.

THE CO2e FOOTPRINT OF THE MINI COOPER.

Total: 42.2 t*
Supply chain and logistics: 6.7 t*
MINI Production: 0.3 t*
Usage Phase: 34.8 t*
End of Life: 0.4 t*

*All data in t CO2e (CO2 equivalent)

Your MINI Cooper C will be handed over to you with 7.2 t of CO2e.

For vehicles with combustion engines, the largest percentage of CO2e is generated during their usage phase, based on WLTP consumption and a mileage of 200,000 km (approx. 125.000 mls). We therefore place great emphasis on efficiency measures in the design process and also provide an insight into driving statistics in the MINI app.

Emission values in the life-cycle assessment are model- and equipment-specific and are given here for the MINI Cooper C left-hand drive version. The figures throughout the various life-cycle phases will differ for other models we offer.
