The BMW Group and the Toyota Motor Corporation are expanding their collaboration to accelerate the innovation of next-generation fuel cell powertrain systems, with a focus on pioneering hydrogen technology in automotive production. This milestone partnership aims to deliver the first-ever series production fuel cell vehicle by a global premium manufacturer, emphasizing how technological progress is shaping the future of mobility. The joint effort will see BMW integrating hydrogen drive systems into its vehicle lineup by 2028, complementing existing electric vehicle technologies like battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. By jointly developing the powertrain system for passenger vehicles, BMW and Toyota aim to create synergies in fuel cell technology, enabling cost reductions and expanding the range of fuel cell electric vehicle options for customers. This collaboration not only advances the development of fuel cell technology but also supports the vision of a hydrogen society by promoting the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier for global decarbonization. Hydrogen is recognized as a key element in balancing supply and demand of renewable energy sources and providing a stable integration of renewables into the energy grid, offering an alternative to conventional battery electric drive systems.
