The New Fleet of Hydrogen-Powered Cars from BMW Aims to “Extinguish” Cars That Emit CO2 into the Atmosphere

The BMW Group has launched a groundbreaking technology in the automotive market! These are new cars that serve as an alternative to emission-free vehicles for CO2 in nature, the new hydrogen-powered cars. According to BMW’s CEO, the new hydrogen-powered cars are the missing piece for sustainable automotive industry, according to the website Olhar Digital.

BMW’s hydrogen-powered cars are set to enter operation in 2023 for testing and also for different groups of people. The so-called BMW iX5 Hydrogen, which is being produced in Munich, uses fuel cells and reaches speeds of over 180 km per hour.

The BMW vehicle stores hydrogen in its two tanks and can be refueled in approximately 3 to 4 minutes. The vehicle has a range of 500 km still in testing.

According to BMW’s President, Oliver Zipse: Hydrogen is a versatile energy source that has a key role to play in the energy transition process and, therefore, in climate protection.

It is also one of the most efficient ways to store and transport renewable energies. We must use this potential to also accelerate the transformation of the mobility sector, as hydrogen is the missing piece in the puzzle when it comes to emission-free mobility.

“One technology alone will not be sufficient to enable climate-neutral mobility worldwide,” he concludes.

According to the International Energy Agency, hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier, with an enormous variety of functions and applications, and can be integrated into industry and also in the automotive sector.

The giant BMW is one of the companies that seeks to research as much as possible the various applications of hydrogen, so that zero-emission technology becomes increasingly present in the world. Other companies also seeking to promote hydrogen include Toyota, Hyundai, and Riversimple, which is also working on hydrogen-powered cars.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Google employee lived in a 12 m² truck in the company parking lot, used the campus facilities, and exposed the burden of rent in Silicon Valley.

To escape one of the most dangerous seas in Europe, Norway is advancing with a giant tunnel that will allow ships to pass through a mountain, avoiding storms, unpredictable waves, and a route that has frightened sailors for generations.

INSS issues alert to retirees: decisive deadline ends this week and millions of beneficiaries may lose access to amounts that already total R$ 3.2 billion; measure involves deductions made between 2020 and 2025

Forget the dollar: Brazil, China, Russia, and India accelerate testing of the BRICS system to challenge SWIFT, reduce US influence, and expand transactions in national currencies, which already account for 67% of the bloc’s trade.

Forget the slow sweeper: China creates a vacuum truck that cleans highways at up to 80 km/h, sucking up stones, dust, and metals from the asphalt and promises to reduce blockages without stopping traffic.

Three doors, concept look, and FIPE value of R$ 62,524: The 2013 Hyundai Veloster delivers a 1.6 engine with 140 hp, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a design that still seems too strange to go unnoticed.

A Land Rover that used to do 1.8 km per liter now does 8 km per liter after a 34-year-old Kenyan engineer installed an ECU he designed himself, which is already being ordered from Zambia, Canada, and Pakistan.

Cheaper than new HB20, Onix, and Argo, this German sedan offers a 510-liter trunk, a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine, a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, and well-known mechanics; the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Comfortline still attracts attention in the used market.

A mechanic opened the engine compartment of an 11-year-old Ford to replace a part and found a wallet with money, gift cards, and the badge of the worker who had assembled that car at the factory.
