BMW and Toyota have announced a significant collaboration to develop the next generation of hydrogen fuel cells, with the first BMW hydrogen car set to enter production by 2028. The joint effort aims to slash production costs by half and boost the hydrogen drive's range by 20%. This move aligns with BMW's strategy to offer customers a choice among five drive options, including hydrogen fuel cells, leveraging the technology's fast charging capability. Despite the limited hydrogen filling station infrastructure in countries like Germany and Austria, both companies plan to support filling station projects to enhance accessibility. While BMW does not plan a model exclusively powered by hydrogen, the fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) will be an additional drive option. This approach underscores a commitment to climate neutrality and reflects the growing demand for fuel cell electric vehicles. The collaboration is a testament to both companies' belief in a 'multi-pathway' approach to sustainability and signals a milestone in automotive history towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.
