- BMW aims to reduce its carbon signature by using these hydrogen trucks for transporting parts between plants, showcasing a clear commitment to sustainable mobility.
- The installation of two hydrogen filling stations in Leipzig and Hormersdorf supports the development of infrastructure for heavy road transport powered by hydrogen.
IVECO has delivered two hydrogen fuel cell trucks to BMW to enhance the sustainability of parts transport between plants. The shift to electric mobility has been challenging for heavy road transport due to the difficulty of powering heavy vehicles with electric batteries. To address this, hydrogen-based trucks like the IVECO S-eWay have been developed, providing higher autonomy than conventional batteries and increased efficiency. These trucks, part of the H2Haul program by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, have a range of 800 km and a quick 20-minute refueling time, making them ideal for transporting parts between BMW's Bavaria and Leipzig plants in a sustainable manner. BMW plans to use these trucks not only for parts transport but also for delivering finished models, emphasizing a commitment to sustainable transportation. Additionally, the installation of hydrogen filling stations in Leipzig and Hormersdorf will support the infrastructure needed for heavy road transport powered by hydrogen, further promoting eco-friendly mobility solutions.
