BMW and Toyota have announced the expansion of their collaboration in the development of fuel cell technology<\/strong>, with the aim of launching BMW’s first series-production hydrogen car in 2028. <\/p>\n\n

BMW and Toyota’s hydrogen car<\/h2>\n\n

The future hydrogen car will not be part of a new series, but will be an adaptation of an existing model in BMW’s current production line, raising expectations as to whether it will be an SUV or another body type.<\/p>\n\n

BMW<\/strong> has been researching hydrogen since the late 1970s, with experimental models such as the 520h<\/em>, the 750hL <\/em>and 760Li<\/em> sedans, the H2R <\/em>record car and the Hydrogen i8.\nAlthough the brand’s latest prototype, the iX5<\/strong>, will not be available in this generation, it could serve as the basis for the future model in 2027. <\/p>\n\n

Toyota<\/strong>, for its part, has been a pioneer in this technology since 2014 with the launch of its Mirai model<\/a><\/strong>, a hydrogen sedan that is already in its second generation.\nNow, the collaboration between the two brands promises vehicles with their own identities and characteristics, beyond simple rebranding. <\/p>\n\n

After developing fuel cell technology<\/strong>, both companies are working to improve the hydrogen refueling infrastructure.\nCurrently, there are fewer than 1,000 stations worldwide, and the alliance is seeking partners to expand the network of hydrogen refueling stations.\nThis improvement will be crucial to facilitate the transition to hydrogen in the automotive market. <\/p>\n
