BMW chairman’s hydrogen dreams could even extend to the group’s crown jewel, Rolls Royce.
BMW is hanging in there with hydrogen, which will become the “hippest thing to drive”, according to Oliver Zipse, the chairman of BMW.
In August, the company started producing fuel-cell systems for a production version of its hydrogen-powered iX5 sport utility vehicle. Zipse indicated it would be sold in the US within the next five years, although in a follow-up phone call a spokesperson declined to confirm that point.Bloomberg previously reported that BMW would start delivering fewer than 100 of the iX5 hydrogen vehicles to select partners in Europe, the US, and Asia from the end of this year.
Hydrogen’s big advantage over electric power, which requires an extensive and so-far non-existent charging network, is that it can supply fuel cells stored in carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic tanks.
