BMW continues down the road the path of fuel cell powered passenger cars as part of its corporate strategy for the future.
, Hyundai, and BMW are hard at work perfecting hydrogen fuel cells for light duty passenger cars. We all know by now that hydrogen fuel cells create no harmful waste products. In operation, they produce electricity, water, and heat. That’s it. So in a fuel cell powered world, there would be no climate killing emissions at all — just like there are none with battery electric cars.
Older readers may remember when diesel-powered passenger cars were all the rage in America in the 80s. Back then, motorists with diesel engines under the hood had to go to truck stops to buy fuel for their cars. Apparently Zipse and BMW see a similar situation coming for fuel cell powered cars.
Last August, the BMW factory in South Carolina produced a fleet of 100 iX5 SUVs that were then shipped to Germany to be outfitted with fuel cell systems. They are being used in a two-year-long test of the technology in Europe, the US, and Asia. Zipse sees hydrogen cars as the preferred option for drivers frequently making longer journeys who struggle with patchy charging infrastructure for battery-electric cars.
. In it, she quoted Frank Weber, BMW’s head of development, as saying, “We are certain that hydrogen is set to gain significantly in importance for individual mobility and therefore consider a mixture of battery and fuel cell electric drive systems to be a sensible approach in the long term. Our BMW iX5 Hydrogen test fleet will allow us to gain new and valuable insights, enabling us to present customers with an attractive product range once the hydrogen economy becomes a widespread reality.
