Toyota and BMW are reportedly planning to strengthen their partnership in fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) to advocate for hydrogen as a next-generation eco-friendly alternative to traditional vehicles, especially with signs of a slowdown in electric vehicle demand. While neither company has confirmed the news, the collaboration is expected to be officially announced soon. The partnership between Toyota and BMW dates back to 2013, initially involving Toyota supplying components and later expanding to showcase hydrogen prototype vehicles. The latest unconfirmed report suggests that Toyota will play a more significant role by providing BMW with essential components like hydrogen tanks and fuel cell systems. BMW plans to integrate these components into its vehicles alongside its EV technology to reduce development costs and speed up mass production. The goal is to introduce a new hydrogen-powered model, potentially a BMW iX5, by 2030. Toyota, known for mass-producing FCVs and introducing the Mirai model in 2014, aims to address the high cost and infrastructure limitations of hydrogen vehicles through this collaboration. Moreover, the alliance may include joint efforts to develop hydrogen infrastructure in Europe, where there is currently a shortage of hydrogen filling stations compared to public EV charging stations. This move could play a crucial role in popularizing fuel cell vehicles and promoting a carbon-neutral society.
