BMW and Toyota are set to deepen their partnership to accelerate the development of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. The companies will sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to solidify their cooperation, with Toyota providing BMW access to hydrogen tanks and fuel cell systems. These components will be integrated with BMW's electric motors to create a full hydrogen fuel-cell drivetrain for the next generation of vehicles. The collaboration not only aims to improve economies of scale for hydrogen technology but also focuses on enhancing the infrastructure for hydrogen in Europe, where the availability of refueling stations is limited. Dr. Jürgen Guldner, BMW's general manager of hydrogen technology, mentioned that a hydrogen-powered vehicle could be launched within this decade, indicating a significant step towards commercializing this technology. This initiative builds on the successful partnership history between BMW and Toyota, exemplified by the Toyota Supra sharing a platform with the BMW Z4 and utilizing BMW engines. By joining forces, the companies seek to make the development of hydrogen vehicles more cost-effective and advance the adoption of sustainable transportation solutions in the automotive industry.
