BMW announces hydrogen vehicle developed with Toyota for 2028
BMW announced Thursday its plans for its first series-production fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), also known as a hydrogen vehicle, in 2028, according to a press release. The announcement is the fruition of joint research and development into hydrogen-powered vehicles between BMW and Toyota. The companies first announced the joint effort in 2022.
“This is a milestone in automotive history: the first-ever series production fuel cell vehicle to be offered by a global premium manufacturer. Powered by hydrogen and driven by the spirit of our cooperation, it will underscore how technological progress is shaping future mobility,” said Oliver Zipse, BMW AG Chairman of the Board of Management, said in the release. “And it will herald an era of significant demand for fuel cell electric vehicles.” BMW says in the release that it has successfully tested the BMW iX5 Hydrogen pilot fleet worldwide. The company’s website describes the BMW iX5 concept vehicle as offering long-range capacity, short refueling times and emission-free driving. It claims the vehicle can refuel in three-four minutes and its range is unaffected by weather conditions.
