Bmw And Hydrogen
With 45 years of experience in hydrogen technology and over 20 in fuel cells, the BMW Group is a pioneer in alternative drive technologies. Now, the new BMW X5 is set to be the first model on the market to offer a choice of five different drives: petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid, battery-electric or hydrogen fuel cell. Joining the lineup in 2028, the BMW iX5 Hydrogen will be the first mass.
BMW Chief Technology Officer Joachim Post is confident the iX5 Hydrogen will be a relevant model despite the slow uptake of hydrogen vehicles. BMW's first hydrogen. The BMW iX5 Hydrogen Concept Vehicle can be refilled with gaseous hydrogen in approximately 3-4 minutes, much faster than a battery-powered electric vehicle.
In addition, hydrogen filling stations are cleaner than traditional gasoline stations and don't leave a lingering odor of fuel on the driver or vehicle after refueling. Pioneering achievement: BMW hydrogen drive in series production For the BMW Group, its commitment to hydrogen is an expression of its technologically. BMW confirms it will build its first full-production hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) in 2028.

BMW will start mass production of its third-generation hydrogen fuel-cell system in 2028 at Plant Steyr, Austria, moving hydrogen from decades of prototypes into full. BMW backs hydrogen for transport with first series production car in 2028 - Is H2 the future after all? BMW has started production of the prototypes of its third-generation hydrogen fuel-cell system co-developed with Toyota.
