BMW will be entering a small series of BMW iX5 Hydrogen cars into service around the world from the end of 2022 for testing and demonstration purposes. The BMW iX5 Hydrogen utilises a combination of fuel cells and a high-performance battery, giving it a unique form of drive system for the premium car segment.
BMW is hoping to play a pioneering role in this technology, with the aim of achieving a more diversified transition to emissions-free mobility. The German car maker will therefore be manufacturing the highly efficient fuel cell system at its in-house competence centre for hydrogen.

The hydrogen fuel cell is paired with the high-performance battery purpose developed for the vehicle to enable its powertrain to deliver 369bhp in total.
To obtain fuel cells required for the manufacture of the BMW iX5, BMW has partnered with Toyota. The two companies have enjoyed a partnership for many years, collaborating on fuel cell drive systems since 2013.
