Bentley Motors announced the acceleration of its Beyond100 strategy

Key to the ambitious programme will be the Five-in-Five Plan, which commits Bentley to launch a new electric model each year from 2025 onwards. The company has already made enormous strides in reinventing the historic Crewe site, creating an industry-leading certified carbon-neutral facility, and the new investment and acceleration of the Beyond100 strategy will now be the basis to reduce Bentley’s carbon footprint across all products and non-factory operations, in line with Bentley’s commitment to be carbon neutral by 2030. The new Dream Factory includes a go-to-zero approach on the environmental impacts of manufacturing. Having achieved carbon-neutral production already in 2019, Bentley aims to reduce water consumption, waste to landfill and other environmental impacts for every vehicle built in Crewe to an absolute minimum until 2030. Adrian Hallmark, chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, said, “Simultaneously accelerating our Beyond100 strategy and securing BEV production at Crewe, alongside a £2.5bn investment, makes this a major landmark in Bentley’s 102-year history. It is a shining light for the Bentley family, our suppliers and partners, as well as the automotive industry and UK manufacturing as a whole.” The world is changing and we need to play our part in neutralising our environmental impact. That means delivering on our aim to be end-to-end carbon-neutral by 2030, and reaffirming our role as the leader in sustainable luxury mobility,” concluded Hallmark. Source: Newspress
