Increased quality of living in cities and additional customer benefits for BMW plug-in hybrids.

New BMW “eDrive Zone” function and digital BMW service “BMW points” promote emissions-free driving in environmental zones and offer users additional cost benefits.



Munich. With the introduction of the fourth generation of BMW plug-in hybrid models, novel features are soon to be launched which will help maximize the distance covered using electric power. In this way, the BMW Group is clustering its expertise in the areas of eDrive technology and digitalisation in order to promote emissions-free and low-noise driving in cities. Presented today for the first time at #NEXTGen, the BMW Group’s new communication format, the latest innovations enable drivers of BMW plug-in hybrid models to contribute actively to improving the quality of living in urban environments. Users also benefit from attractive premiums and can compete with other users for fun.



eDrive Zones enable emissions-free access to environmental zones.

With the current shift in thinking to make cities suitable for human beings rather than cars, more and more cities are considering imposing access limitations on vehicles powered by combustion engines. In view of this, the BMW Group is consistently advancing its operating strategy for plug-in hybrid models. If cities establish environmental zones for emissions-free driving only, these can be automatically detected in future by means of geo-fencing technology. On entering the zone, the vehicle then automatically switches to purely electric mode. This means that optimum use of the potential offered by plug-in hybrid vehicles is guaranteed – without the driver having to take any special action. This novel operating strategy constitutes a significant additional boost in terms of the potential of plug-in hybrid vehicles to reduce emissions. The increase in the distance covered electrically not only helps optimise efficiency, it also reduces operating costs for the customer. This applies particularly to city traffic, where electric power consistently achieves a higher level of efficiency than a petrol or diesel engine.



The function BMW eDrive Zones will be a standard feature in BMW plug-in hybrid vehicles as of 2020.

| Autonomous driving at the BMW Group: #NEXTGen 19.

Technologies for an on-demand mobility scenario.
How about taking the BMW 7 Series out for a spin – and watching a film or even closing your eyes for a while? The BMW Group makes all this possible – and is providing a glimpse of autonomous driving at #NEXTGen.



In an urban on-demand mobility scenario, a BMW 7 Series impressively demonstrates how high automation (Level 4) can transform the individual mobility of the future.


An empty car, summoned by a smartphone app, drives up to collect its owner. The vehicle can be directed to any preferred pick-up point, with access authentication via smartphone upon arrival.



In Level 4, since occupants no longer have to be directly involved in the driving process, the drive is initiated via an ODM tablet. The destination address is transmitted to the vehicle via the smartphone app in advance and the driving seat remains unoccupied.

Due to safety mechanisms implemented in the vehicle, the drive can only begin once all occupants have fastened their seatbelts. Passengers can spend their time in the car however they wish. One option is simply to enjoy the entertainment system. Vehicle functions can also be controlled this way: Horn, headlight flasher and locking and unlocking doors are typical functions that have been implemented for demonstration purposes. Once the vehicle reaches its destination, the passenger gets out and lets the car park itself.



To ensure safe driving in urban settings, the BMW Group is investing heavily in development of environment recognition technology with machine learning capabilities. Both high-performance sensor technologies such as computer vision and innovative sensor fusion methods are used. These technologies maximize the benefits of driver assistance systems for our customers.




Indian Musical Drama to be staged by Padatik Dance Troupe In Houston, USA

.   The pitter pattering of structured Kathak steps measured out to mellifluous strains and beats of Indian musical instruments will reverberate in Houston, USA, this September 22, when Padatik Dance Troupe, will present a unique musical dance drama entitled, ‘Yakeen Ka Safar' ('Journey of Trust'), during the annual cultural festival of  'Foundation for Children’s Cancer Research and Support' (FCCRS), a non-profit charity organization based in Houston.

    This dance-drama scripted by Mumbai-based theater director and producer, Salim Arif, an alumnus of National School of Drama, New Delhi and helmed by Keka Kar, Director of Virtuosi of Performing Arts, is inspired from Rabindranath Tagore's celebrated opus, 'Kabuliwala'.

    Souvik Chakraborty, the dance lead and choreographer, who has imbibed Kathak from Pt. Birju Maharaj amongst others has found a scope, owing to Kabuliwala's conversation with Mini (a character in the play), to amalgamate this Broadway-style musical with the song, dance and cultural tradition of Kabul and inducing it with an 'Arabian Nights' themed fantasy segment.

    Somnath Chakraborty, the music director will be effecting an aesthetic meld of classical music and Bollywood's popular songs to synchronise with the Kathak steps.

     Once there, the team will further collaborate with several talented children from Taylor High school, Houston for the final showpiece.

     The only rue - the discerning Calcutta audience will not be privy to this salubrious endeavour. But hopefully they can stage the same at Padatik centre once they are back.

 Awareness Build-up about Shared Parenting by “ANUBHAV - FIGHT FOR JUSTICE”



International Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June each year to honour the contributions of fathers, grandfathers, step fathers and all men who enact as father figure. This year International Father's Day is on June 16th, 2019.

In India, custody rights are often rewarded to the mother in lieu of any law calling for joint custody rights. The visitation rights of the fathers are often violated and the child in dispute ends up as a tool to settle scores with. Almost in no cases, the mother is penalised for such conduct. As a result, the father becomes only a provider, not a nurturer. A number of studies regarding the role of father in a child's

life reveal that to lead a mentally and physically healthy life, a child must have both of the parents in his/her life, But the sad reality is far from it.

  “ANUBHAV -  FIGHT FOR JUSTICE”, a renowned social organization who fought for the protection of Men's right since long, has decided to put forth the following demands:-

1.  Custody should be based on taking in account the financial, mental and physical conditions of the parents, regardless of the age, sex and religion of the child. Any biased presumption should be discarded. The parent not having custody of the child should not be moved aside. Instead a joint parenting plan should be outlined at the time of awarding custody based on agreement of the parents and both parents should adhere to it strictly. If any parent fails to do so, he/she should be penalized.  'ANUBHAV' support shared parenting.

2. The disparity between Guardianship & Wards Act and Hindu Maintenance & Guardianship Act regarding the position of the father while considering custody rights should be resolved.

3. If both the parents are working, child support must be shared by both of them instead of the father alone. The financial status of both the parents and their involvement in sharing the cost of upbringing the child must be taken into account for this purpose so that a loving father does not lose the right to be in his child's life just because he is not financially sound.

    ‘Anubhav’ members like Sumit Kanji(General Secretary), Raja Palit (President), Soma Barui (Vice- President), Ruma Sarkar (Joint Secretary), Tarit Sarkar (Senior Member) and others are working very hard to spread awareness through various programs.
