The BMW Group has launched its BMW iX5 Hydrogen vehicle pilot fleet.
The fleet of under 100 vehicles will then be employed internationally for demonstration and trial purposes for various target groups.
This will be the first chance for people not involved in the development process to gain a direct impression of what the BMW iX5 Hydrogen has to offer.
“Hydrogen is a versatile energy source that has a key role to play in the energy transition process and therefore in climate protection. After all, it is one of the most efficient ways of storing and transporting renewable energies”, said Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG.
“We should use this potential to also accelerate the transformation of the mobility sector. Hydrogen is the missing piece in the jigsaw when it comes to emission-free mobility. One technology on its own will not be enough to enable climate-neutral mobility worldwide.”
The BMW iX5 Hydrogen, developed on the basis of the current BMW X5, was first unveiled as a concept at the IAA show in 2019.
