BMW Fuel Cell Model is being Considered

Now that BMW has officially uncovered its first, purpose-constructed full-electric car, the German company’s CEO has reiterated that BMW is committed to fuel-cell technology as well, and is planning a production fuel-cell car.

BMW is going to take the same approach it did with its i3 on a fuel-cell car, designing and constructing one from the scratch up to use hydrogen fuel cells. The German company predicts a future where all the cars on the road emit zero emissions and acknowledges that fuel-cell cars will allow drivers to run long distances without the limitations of electric recharge.

Fuel-cell cars have been called to question given that hydrogen is not readily available, and most hydrogen sourced today comes from CO2-emitting processes. Nevertheless, when electric cars first debuted, critics thought the infrastructure needed to support them would never appear. Though electric car deliveries hasn’t exactly taken off the way companies have hoped, recent months of top sales show that the market is certainly reliable and is going in the right direction.

BMW Chief Norbert Reithofer also informed that it would cooperate with Toyota on a purpose-built, fuel-cell car. The Japanese company is going to launch its own fuel-cell car in 2015 and recently cooperated up with other Japanese companies to outfit the U.S. with more electric car charging points.
