BMW Hydrogen 7: BMW Introduces World's First Hydrogen Drive Luxury Car

BMW Hydrogen 7 BMW Introduces Worlds First Hydrogen Drive Luxury Car
BMW today announced the introduction of the new BMW Hydrogen 7, the world's first hydrogen-drive luxury performance automobile for everyday use.

The car - a vehicle that has undergone the regular Product Development Process - will be built in a limited series and deployed to selected users in the U.S. and other countries in 2007.

It is equipped with an internal combustion engine capable of running either on hydrogen or on gasoline and based on the BMW 7 Series.

Hydrogen technology dramatically reduces emissions generated by personal transport and, in particular, minimizes the emission of CO2.

Running in the hydrogen mode, the BMW Hydrogen 7 essentially emits nothing but vapor.

And, unlike fossil fuels and traditional gasoline, hydrogen is available in virtually infinite supply.

With the BMW Hydrogen 7, the BMW Group is laying down a marker for sustainable mobility.

This car will play a pioneering role in driving forward hydrogen technologies.

BMW has gained an excellent reputation for significantly reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by using ultra efficient, yet very dynamic gasoline engines.
