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.
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.
