To do this the power electronics from the start evaluate data indicating a possible change in exterior conditions or the driver's wishes and prepare the components in the drivetrain as well as the car's electronic system for a possible change in requirements. A further unique feature of energy management in the BMW 5-Series ActiveHybrid Concept is the car's ability to adjust its operating strategy not just to current, but also to upcoming driving conditions. A high level of all-round networking allows the power electronics to provide intelligent energy management, thus optimising the operating strategy of the entire vehicle under all conditions.

The range and diversity of parameters taken into account by the system is indeed quite unique in the automobile, just as the number of functions controlled in this way. At the same time the power electronics also control the operation of the car's ancillary units and comfort functions, again in the interest of maximum efficiency. Taking additional factors into account, the interaction of the two drive units in the BMW 5-Series ActiveHybrid Concept is tailored to the driver's requirements and current driving conditions with maximum precision. As an example, the energy contained in the fuel and provided by the high-voltage battery may now be used even more specifically and efficiently to provide that Sheer Driving Pleasure so typical of BMW. The BMW 5-Series ActiveHybrid Concept once again raises the range of functions provided by such power electronics to an even higher standard.
