BMW AG is aiming to launch its first hydrogen-powered car in 2028, leveraging its existing models and collaborating with Toyota Motor Corp on hydrogen fuel cell technology. Although the specific vehicle costs and production volumes remain undisclosed, BMW is optimistic pending the development of hydrogen refueling infrastructure. BMW's Chairman, Oliver Zipse, emphasized the technological progress and cooperation driving this initiative towards future mobility, predicting a surge in demand for fuel-cell electric vehicles. The move signifies BMW's strategic consideration between fuel cells and batteries as the future power source for cars. Fuel cell technology draws power from a hydrogen stack, enabling quicker refueling times compared to electric vehicle charging. Despite BMW's pioneering work on hydrogen technology, challenges persist due to high costs and the limited hydrogen refueling network. The prototype iX5 exemplifies BMW's ongoing efforts in advancing hydrogen-powered vehicles, signaling a potential shift in the automotive industry's energy paradigm.
