With Thursday's announcement of an increased collaboration between Toyota and BMW on hydrogen technology, it is clear that BMW will send the hydrogen car into mass production.
Now it's not just an idea and a few prototypes – with Thursday's announcement of an increased collaboration between Toyota and BMW, it is clear that the latter will make a series production of the hydrogen car.
This is what the German car brand writes in a press release .
BMW will launch the first hydrogen-powered car as early as 2028, at the same time the pilot project with a number of iX5 Hydrogen models, which are currently clocking test kilometers, must be evaluated.
– The hydrogen acts as an efficient storage system for renewable energy sources, helps to balance supply and demand and enables a more stable and reliable integration of renewable energy sources into the energy grid.

– Hydrogen is the missing piece to complete the electric mobility puzzle, where battery-powered systems are not an optimal solution, writes BMW.
BMW has built the iX5 Hydrogen to a limited extent, which is currently functioning as a choral experiment. But the cars have already proven to be cheaper than other X5 versions with a combustion engine.
Here at home, the Toyota importer stubbornly sticks to the Mirai hydrogen car, even though there is actually not a single hydrogen station left in Denmark.
It is not clear from Toyota's press release about the new collaboration whether the Japanese will add another hydrogen car to the model range.
