Hydrogen Fueled Bmw

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. 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 confirms the 2028 iX5 Hydrogen after one million kilometers of global testing.

Here's what the brand learned about range, refueling, and everyday use. BMW's first hydrogen. Is hydrogen propulsion the future? How does a fuel cell work? Are there any risks? In this article, a hydrogen propulsion expert from BMW will answer these questions and more.

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 confirms it will build its first full-production hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) in 2028. Photo: Jonas Rattel.

Where battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are fully charged with energy. BMW has started production of the prototypes of its third-generation hydrogen fuel-cell system co-developed with Toyota. Here's what we know.

BMW believes hydrogen will play a crucial role in the car industry, and plans to launch the iX5 Hydrogen in 2028, making it less dependent on raw materials needed for battery EVs. The iX5 Hydrogen will be BMW's first production model powered by the hydrogen and will use fuel.
