BMW and Toyota are advancing hydrogen technology with plans to develop Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs), starting with BMW’s first hydrogen-powered production model set for 2028. This partnership follows the successful global testing of the BMW iX5 Hydrogen pilot fleet, positioning both automakers at the forefront of the next generation of sustainable mobility.

Their collaboration extends beyond vehicle development, focusing on expanding hydrogen infrastructure to ensure the viability of FCEVs. By promoting hydrogen refuelling and battery electric vehicle charging stations, BMW and Toyota are working to accelerate the transition to zero-emission mobility. They share a vision for a sustainable future where hydrogen plays a key role alongside battery electric solutions.

Utilizing shared powertrain technology, both brands aim to reduce costs and offer distinct models with fuel cell powertrains that maintain their unique identities. BMW’s future FCEVs will deliver the brand’s signature performance and innovation, while Toyota’s offerings will integrate this advanced technology into their vehicles without sacrificing brand identity.
In addition to developing vehicles, BMW and Toyota are advocating for a robust hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. They are collaborating with governments and industry partners to create the framework to support hydrogen mobility, aiming to make FCEVs a mainstream solution for passenger and commercial vehicles.
