The announcement comes as part of a new collaboration between BMW and Toyota.
BMW has confirmed that it’s working on a hydrogen fuel cell production car (FCEV). The highly anticipated new model is set to go on sale by 2028. This announcement comes as part of a new collaboration between BMW and Toyota.
BMW’s first hydrogen production car is confirmed to be a variant of an existing model, but it will be powered by Toyota’s forthcoming third-generation hydrogen fuel cell technology, which is set to hit production sometime between 2026 and 2027.
This BMW hydrogen production car could have a range as long as 485 miles. This is roughly 100 miles more than the most efficient BMW i7. BMW says fuel cell models produced from the Toyota partnership will still retain their “distinct brand identities and characteristics”.
As it stands, only two hydrogen fuel cell passenger cars are currently on sale in Europe: the Toyota Mirai and the Hyundai Nexo SUV.
Toyota is also currently developing a hydrogen-powered version of the Hilux pick-up truck. They firmly believe that hydrogen is the best sustainable option for commercial vehicles.
