Toyota and BMW have been collaborating on fuel-cell-powered cars since 2012, with a recent decision to strengthen their partnership in hydrogen technologies. BMW is gearing up to launch multiple fuel-cell vehicles, starting with a hydrogen X5, benefiting from Toyota's expertise in this domain. This move comes at a time when most automakers are focused on hybrids and electric vehicles, making Toyota and BMW stand out for their commitment to hydrogen. The partnership involves Toyota providing BMW with crucial hydrogen components, while BMW will integrate these with its EV technologies. By cooperating on the development of hydrogen supply infrastructure in Europe, the two companies aim to overcome the challenges of a limited charging network for fuel-cell vehicles. BMW's innovative approach to hydrogen vehicles includes retrofitting regular X5s into hydrogen iX5s by installing hydrogen tanks and drive units. The deepening ties between Toyota and BMW are expected to yield more details at an upcoming BMW media event. This collaboration signifies a significant step towards advancing hydrogen fuel cell technology in the automotive industry and could potentially pave the way for more widespread adoption of fuel-cell vehicles.
