FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON THE NEW BMW iX5 HYDROGEN.
When will I be able to buy a hydrogen car made by BMW?
The pilot fleet of the BMW iX5 Hydrogen is not intended for sale. Depending on the market requirements and general conditions, we envisage potentially offering our customers a production vehicle in the second half of this decade. The small series is an important step on the way to making this offer available to customers.
Where is the BMW iX5 Hydrogen being produced?
The BMW Group is producing the highly efficient fuel cell systems in a separate competence centre for hydrogen in Munich. It obtains the individual fuel cells from the Toyota Motor Corporation.
How does a hydrogen drive work?
Just like a battery electric vehicle (BEV), a hydrogen or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) has an electric drive and identical electric motor. The main difference is the energy storage system: instead of electricity in the battery, gaseous hydrogen is stored in tanks and converted into electrical energy for the drive unit by means of the fuel cell. A main advantage is that a hydrogen car can be completely refuelled in 3-4 minutes.
Is the BMW iX5 Hydrogen drive emission-free?
A hydrogen vehicle is powered electrically as the fuel cell produces electricity from hydrogen The only things that come out of this reaction are electrical energy, heat and water, which emerge as water vapour. This makes the BMW iX5 Hydrogen locally emission-free.
How safe is a hydrogen drive?
Safety has top priority for us. Our vehicle meets all the relevant safety standards. Before even starting any of the road trials, we conducted extensive crash tests and met all the legal requirements both at component and vehicle level. The BMW iX5 Hydrogen complies with the same high safety standards as all of our other vehicles.
