If you still think hydrogen is just a heresy you will blow, we have news for you. BMW is still determined to launch the first productive fuel cells in 2028. To achieve this, it enhances its relationship with Toyota. The world’s largest auto manufacturer also believes that hydrogen has a future in the auto industry. Meanwhile, the luxury German brand tests technology in two emissions trucks.
BMW Group Logistics will operate a pair of Iveco S -ell fuel trucks in Germany. Experimental running will include trips between Leipzig, Landsburg and Norgman. There are two hydrogen fuel stations under construction, one in Leipzig and the other in Hormersdorf. New facilities will ensure a smoother process between flights. Large fossils will use rapid fuel, with large amounts of hydrogen feeding them in their tanks.
This may be a surprise, but there are five hydrogen fuel stations based on the Leipzig factory. More than 200 forks and Tugger trains used in the logistical services of the internal factory are provided there. Fun truth: The first hydrogen fuel station was opened in Germany in 2013 at the BMW factory in Saxony. From 2026, the RegenSburg factory will also start using the hydrogen -run Tugger trains and forkl -lever trucks.
BMW new hydrogen trucks are part of a wider fleet than 16 large hydrogen platforms from the clean hydrogen partnership. The H2Haul project aims to test fuel cell driving in a realistic environment instead of an artificial scenario simulator in a laboratory. Fuel cell trucks will be tested in many European countries.
The lessons learned during the BMW Tour “BMW” will help develop the technology to the market entitlement and pave the way for a large -scale entry into the road charging sector. ” The first BMW Hydrogen vehicle is likely to be based on customers to the next generation X5. The “G65” will be the first model of the company to offer gasoline and diesel engines, hybrid ingredients engines, battery -powered EV, and hydrogen variable. The current X5 “” G05 “has already been used for a pilot program of IX5 fuel cell mechanisms, but these are not for sale.
