BMW shows off first hydrogen fuel cell cars: i8 prototype, 5 Series GT
BMW is jumping on the hydrogen bandwagon with the debut of two fuel-cell powered prototypes based on two very different production models. Those cars — a modified i8 coupe and 5 Series Gran Turismo hatchback — debuted at BMW’s Innovation Days 2015 event and represent the first tangible result of the German carmaker’s ongoing collaboration with…
Toyota, Nissan, Honda Back Hydrogen Stations for Fuel Cells
Toyota, Nissan and Honda are working together to get more fuel cell vehicles on roads in what they call Japan’s big push toward “a hydrogen society.” Fuel cell vehicles emit no pollution. They run on the power created when hydrogen stored as fuel combines with oxygen in the air to make water. Hydrogen fueling stations…
