New electric models will help BMW and Daimler cut emissions from the cars they sell by an average of 20% this year, the German automakers predicted on Tuesday, as they strive to meet tough new European pollution rules.
The carmaker's new climate plan is bold - for a company. But it falls short of recommended emissions cuts and shows the limits of corporate self-policing.
