BMW will release hydrogen versions of cars from one of its current model ranges in 2028. The partners will develop power units for them together.
Germany’s Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Japan’s Toyota will jointly develop electric vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells. BMW reported it.
It has been mentioned that in 2008 BMW will release hydrogen versions of cars from one of its existing model ranges. The partners will develop power units for them together.
According to the company’s vice president for hydrogen cars, Michael Rath, BMW cars are designed for consumers who don’t have electric vehicle chargers at home or who have to travel long distances without access to electric networks. charging. Fuel cell electric vehicles run on electricity produced by the interaction of hydrogen and oxygen inside the fuel cell, rather than from a battery. Refueling such vehicles is faster than charging traditional electric vehicles, and is more akin to refueling at a gas station. However, BMW is not considering hydrogen vehicles as a replacement for battery-powered vehicles.
“We don’t think that all-electric cars and fuel cell cars can be competitors. We think that they are rather complementary,” Rath said.
In addition, Toyota and BMW plan to develop a refueling infrastructure, which in the case of hydrogen vehicles will be smaller than the networks of traditional gas stations and charging stations.
It was previously reported that the automaker Bayerische Motoren Werke AG is recalling the electric cars of the Mini Cooper SE model due to problems with the batteries.
We remind you that the German automaker BMW AG for the first time surpassed the American company Tesla in the sale of electric vehicles in the European Union.
