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.

The operation of the cars will take place in 2023, even though the fleet is small, with fewer than 100 vehicles, designated to be employed internationally for demonstration and testing purposes for various target groups.
Hydrogen at BMW
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.
