BMW has toyed
with hydrogen fuel before, developing a hydrogen
7 Series a while back and, more recently, a hydrogen i8 prototype. Much of
BMW’s continued interest in hydrogen fuel has to do with its connections with
Japanese automaker, Toyota, who is also very fond of hydrogen and has been
working with it for 23 years, longer than anyone else in the industry. Toyota
is pushing for hydrogen hard and BMW is following suit. But it isn’t just the
BMW/Toyota bromance that’s considering hydrogen as a serious long-term
solution. Honda, Audi and General Motors are also working on hydrogen
technology. So clearly, BMW is on to something.
