Hamburg - BMW plans to include in its range by 2015 a "megacity" car more suited to crowded urban streets than to the open road, the German company's chief executive, Norbert Reithofer, said in an interview released Wednesday.

The design would be a response to rising fuel prices and tough new environmental regulations.

"It'll be a car with a completely new look, with two engines available. One will be a very efficient internal combustion engine and the other will be a purely electric model," he told the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit. (dpa)
