BMW has a rich history of over 40 years in the field of hydrogen technology. The carmaker has been actively involved in hydrogen innovation since 1979, showcasing its pioneering spirit in the industry. Initially adapting a BMW 520 to run on liquid hydrogen, BMW later introduced hydrogen-converted 7 Series vehicles that could operate on both petrol and hydrogen. In the early 2000s, BMW transitioned to fuel cell technology, collaborating with Toyota in 2012 to develop hydrogen-powered vehicles with zero emissions. The partnership led to the creation of the hydrogen-powered 535 in 2014, emphasizing both performance and environmental sustainability. BMW continues to invest significantly in research and development, with a focus on enhancing fuel cell technology. The company's commitment to sustainability is evident in the development of its second-generation fuel cells, which offer twice the continuous power compared to the previous iteration. The introduction of the iX5 Hydrogen model further exemplifies BMW's dedication to testing and refining hydrogen-powered vehicles on a global scale. With plans for a production vehicle launch in 2028, BMW aims to contribute to the widespread adoption of clean energy solutions in the automotive sector.
