BMW and Toyota have announced a collaboration to introduce a hydrogen-fueled vehicle by 2028, marking BMW's foray into the Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) market. The partnership promises a luxury FCEV model based on Toyota's technology, with advancements that will reduce costs and improve efficiency. The fuel cell stack sourced from Toyota is expected to be 50% cheaper and at least 20% more efficient while being the third generation of Toyota's fuel cells. BMW's Vice President of Hydrogen Vehicles highlighted the benefits of FCEVs, such as less range depletion during towing and faster refueling, making hydrogen ideal for heavy vehicles like trucks. Despite BMW's expertise in SUV production, particularly showcased with the iX5 fuel-cell prototype, the 2028 FCEV is likely to be an SUV built on BMW's Neue Klasse EV platform, which can easily accommodate hydrogen fuel tanks and stacks. Toyota's innovation in designing hydrogen tanks that fit in the same space as battery packs further facilitates BMW's integration of hydrogen technology. The seamless adaptability of the platform and other components ensures minimal modifications are required, demonstrating BMW's commitment to cost-effective production. With new advancements in fuel stack efficiency and hydrogen storage design, BMW is well-positioned to introduce a luxury FCEV SUV in 2028, setting the stage for a hydrogen-fueled future in the automotive industry.
