The combination is &#8220;adding a unique form of drive system for the premium segment,&#8221; according to BMW.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a versatile energy source, hydrogen has a key role to play on the road to climate neutrality. And it will also gain substantially in importance as far as personal mobility is concerned,&#8221; Oliver Zipse, chief executive officer (CEO) of BMW AG, said at a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>BMW has been working on hydrogen drive technology with fuel cells since 2015. Previously, the carmaker had already tested hydrogen combustion engines, which were deemed less effective in the end.<\/p>\n<p>At its hydrogen competence center in the Bavarian capital of Munich, BMW is stacking the individual fuel cells from Toyota with other components to form a complete fuel cell system.<\/p>\n<p>The BMW fuel cell system alone has an output of 125 kilowatts (kW) or 170 hp (horsepower). Together with the electric motor and a power battery developed for the hydrogen car, the powertrain can deliver 275 kW\/374 hp.<\/p>\n<p>The state of Bavaria will invest 500 million euros (500 million U.S. dollars) in hydrogen technology with a research center and hydrogen filling stations, Minister President Markus Soeder said at the press conference. &#8220;Hydrogen has a future and Bavaria is a leader in electromobility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, the federal government should also support the development of the technology, Soeder said. &#8220;There is an urgent need for hydrogen networks in the south from the federal government as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-43941 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/p90364753-highres-bmw-i-hydrogen-next-1568130605.jpg\" alt=\"German carmaker BMW has started the in-house production of fuel cell systems for its hydrogen-powered ix5 sport utility vehicle.
