BMW Group Plant Regensburg in Germany has announced its strategic plan to incorporate hydrogen for production logistics. The initiative, set to commence in 2026, will involve the utilization of hydrogen-powered tugger trains and forklift trucks for various transport and logistics operations within the plant. This transition is part of the company's vision for a sustainable future, with a focus on digitalization and eco-friendly practices. Armin Ebner, the Head of BMW Group Plant Regensburg, highlighted the significance of this move in bringing the plant closer to the BMW iFACTORY concept. Currently, the plant's logistics fleet operates on electric drivetrains, which require battery replacement every 15 minutes. The forthcoming hydrogen infrastructure will include a two-kilometre pipeline network and six filling stations to facilitate the supply of hydrogen to the logistics fleet. This hydrogen will be delivered in specialized trailers that can double as interim storage units. The implementation of hydrogen technology is poised to streamline operations in critical areas like the press shop, body shop, and assembly, ensuring precise delivery of components for production. BMW's investment in hydrogen infrastructure underscores its commitment to sustainability and innovation in the automotive manufacturing sector.
