Zero emissions, long-range: Toyota and BMW collaborate to popularize hydrogen-powered cars

Kevin WongAug 28, 2024, 10:27 AM

It is reported that Toyota and BMW have established a comprehensive partnership in fuel cell vehicles (FCV), with Toyota supplying key components such as hydrogen tanks, and BMW launching mass-produced fuel cell vehicles in a few years. The two companies will also develop hydrogen charging infrastructure in Europe.

Toyota Mirai is one of Toyota's most representative models in the field of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. It has attracted wide attention for its excellent range, quiet driving experience and zero-emission environmental characteristics. It is worth mentioning that the Toyota Mirai is also the official partner vehicle of the 2024 Paris Olympics, have you seen it in the broadcast of the Olympic Games?

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (abbreviated as FCV) is a automobile that converts hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy to drive an electric motor. Compared with traditional gasoline vehicles and pure electric vehicles, the emissions of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are almost only water vapor, which is a zero-emission mode of transportation. Toyota, as a forerunner in the field of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, will continue to promote the research and application of hydrogen energy technology.

It is worth mentioning that although hydrogen fuel vehicles have the advantages of long range and short refueling time, the addition of components such as hydrogen tanks makes the vehicle weight heavier than pure electric and petrol cars. Meanwhile, due to the popularity issue, there are relatively few supply stations that can provide hydrogen energy on the market, so replenishing energy is not very convenient.
