BMW aims to deliver hydrogen cars as soon as 2025. As BMW CEO Oliver Zipse announced, hydrogen engines will play an essential role in many regions of the world in the long run.
A hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle (HFCV) operates with a motor similar to a battery-electric vehicle but uses a stack of fuel cells instead of a heavy battery. These fuel cells combine hydrogen (H2) with oxygen (O2) from the air to produce water vapour and generate electricity. In simpler terms, fuel-cell vehicles are a type of hybrid called fuel-cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEV).
Even though hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, it’s typically not found in its pure form and is often combined with other elements. Creating pure hydrogen for vehicles involves an energy-intensive process to break down compounds, usually derived from fossil fuels like natural gas.
While hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles share similarities with electric vehicles (EVs), they have unique qualities that set them apart. Like their counterparts, hydrogen engines can be refuelled quickly and maintain a consistent driving range regardless of temperature changes.

BMW is set to introduce the BMW iX5 Hydrogen, one of three hydrogen-powered vehicles hitting BMW dealerships in 2024.
This eco-friendly SUV concept is designed to lead electric mobility, focusing on impressive performance. Meeting the ambitious targets for zero carbon emissions in the coming decades requires a variety of renewable energy sources to meet the growing demand for electrification by businesses, cities, and countries.
Hydrogen is expected to play a crucial role in shaping this future.
