 BMW
to launch first hydrogen-drive auto in 2007
BMW will be the world’s first auto manufacturer
to market a hydrogen-drive car which has successfully completed
the process of series development.
The BMW Series Hydrogen 7 Saloon will be powered
by a 260 h.p. 12-cylinder. Top speed is limited electronically to
143 mph. When a full supply of hydrogen is not guaranteed, the dual-mode
power unit featured in BMW Hydrogen 7 will switch over to conventional
premium gasoline.
The launch of BMW Hydrogen 7 is a milestone en
route to an era of mobility independent of fossil fuels not only
for the BMW Group but also for the entire automotive and energy
industry. |
