BMW is using the analogy of free diving to demonstrate the reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions made possible by efficient dynamics. The campaign, online at www.bmw.com/efficientdynamics, is expressed in a television commercial filmed in Egypt.
French free diver Guillaume Nery is filmed on location in the Red Sea in Dahab, Egypt. He recently broke the world free diving record by diving unaided to a depth of 113 metres.
“Everyone has a lung capacity of about 6 litres and of course everyone breathes the same air. How your body utilitises that air makes the difference. Free divers can dive up to twenty times deeper. Technique is everything, perfecting the economy of movement to give maximum performance from that one breath of air. Less fuel, more performance. This is BMW Efficient Dynamics
