Could this be the worlds first hydrogen production series model? Well according to the translation I did on the German press release, it seems so but before we jump into any wild conclusions, lets wait for the English version of the press release. More info coming soon
As automobile manufacturer first worldwide, BMW presents a with hydrogen (English: Hydrogen) driven vehicle that has pass through the series development process. The BMW Hydrogen 7 with hydrogen combustion motor is the result of a consistent development strategy with which the leading-edge draft of a persistent mobility usefully is made already today for the everyday life business. The saloon car of the 7er row is driven of a 191 kW/260 HP of strong twelve cylinder-motor and accelerates in 9.5 seconds of zero on 100 km/h. The maximum speed is limited electronically on 230 km/h. As long as a blanketing hydrogen provision is not guaranteed, the bivalent can fall back displayed motor of the BMW Hydrogen 7 through simple shifting of the Betriebsart also on conventional super gasoline.

With this praxisorientierten solution, BMW demonstrates not only its technology leadership in the field of the Antriebssysteme of tomorrow. The integration of the hydrogen utilization in an existing and in the practice proved vehicle draft creates at the same time the prerequisites for one at the market accepted and for the customer erfahrbare alternative to conventional Antriebsformen. The premiere of the BMW Hydrogen 7 is therefore not only for the BMWS Group a milestone on the way in an age of independent of fossilized fuels of the mobility, but rather at the same time a signal for the total automobile economy and energy economy. The BMW Hydrogen 7 begins the proof for that that the use of fluid hydrogen is as an energy carrier for series vehicles realizable. Therewith sets the BMWS Group an important impulse for the further development of a provision infrastructure, to which above all the erection of additional hydrogen gasoline station booths belongs, in order to enable persistent mobility in the future blanketing.
