BMW recently revealed plans to launch a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in 2028 through a collaboration with Toyota. The two automakers will work together to develop a next-generation fuel cell powertrain, to be incorporated into the upcoming BMW model and a future Toyota model. This strategic partnership aligns with BMW CEO Oliver Zipse's vision for fuel cells as a crucial element in achieving the company's electrification objectives, aiming to make half of BMW's global sales volume electric by 2030. The announcement also hints at the possibility of adapting BMW's next-generation EV platform to accommodate fuel cells. Notably, BMW had previously teamed up with Toyota on projects like the iX5 Hydrogen prototype, a limited-production SUV that serves as a testing ground for fuel cell technology. While some industry players have shifted focus to commercial trucks due to challenges in fuel cell infrastructure and hydrogen supply consistency, BMW remains steadfast in its commitment to fuel cell development. Despite skepticism from some scientists regarding the environmental impact of fuel cells compared to batteries, BMW's continued investment signals confidence in the future of hydrogen fuel cells within the automotive sector. The collaboration with Toyota underscores a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the advancement of fuel cell technology in the industry.
