BMW Group has revealed its plan to transition to hydrogen-powered forklifts and tugger trains for all logistics and transport tasks at its Regensburg plant. This decision involves phasing out electric-fueled vehicles starting from 2025 and completing the transition by 2030. The current fleet at the Regensburg plant operates on electric drive trains, requiring battery changes twice per shift, which is a time-consuming process. The Head of BMW Group Plant Regensburg, Armin Ebner, highlighted the move as a step towards the BMW iFACTORY, the brand's envisioned digital and sustainable factory of the future. The project includes building a two-kilometer pipeline with six filling stations to supply hydrogen to the factory, which will optimize logistics processes and save space. Project manager Katharina Radtke noted that hydrogen refueling is quick, similar to conventional fuels, and the filling stations will be integrated into production areas without occupying much space. Once the conversion is finalized, the plant's annual hydrogen consumption is projected to be around 150T. The Regensburg plant, operational since 1986, produces up to 1,400 vehicles of BMW X1 and BMW X2 models daily, showcasing BMW's commitment to embracing hydrogen technology for a more sustainable and efficient manufacturing process.
