BMW Group announced its plans to deploy hydrogen to power approximately 230 forklifts and tugger trains at its Regensburg electric drivetrain plant in Germany, starting from 2026. This initiative aims to optimize logistics efficiency by reducing vehicle downtime caused by battery changes. The advantage of hydrogen, as highlighted by BMW Project Manager Katharina Radtke, is its fast refueling process, similar to conventional fuels, eliminating the need for lengthy battery replacements. To support this transition, BMW will construct a 2km pipeline network with six refueling stations by early 2026, anticipating an annual hydrogen consumption of 150 tonnes once the conversion is complete by 2030. Additionally, BMW has been incorporating hydrogen into its factory logistics, with fuel cells powering automated guided vehicles at its Leipzig factory. This move aligns with BMW's broader strategy of hydrogen mobility, exemplified by the recent collaboration with Toyota to develop fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) for series production starting in 2028. While acknowledging the potential of hydrogen technology in enhancing sustainability and efficiency in the automotive industry, the article also reflects on the historical and current challenges surrounding hydrogen mobility, despite continued efforts and partnerships to drive its adoption.
