BMW Introduces a New Hydrogen-Powered Car

BMW is entering the alternative fuel market with the development of a new hydrogen-powered version of the BMW 7 Series called Hydrogen 7. The new vehicle will be world's first hydrogen-drive luxury performance car for everyday use according to the German automaker.

The BMW Hydrogen 7 is powered by a 12-cylinder internal combustion engine with two fuel tanks, one for hydrogen and one for gasoline. The engine produces 260 horsepower, capable of accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in 9.5 seconds with a maximum speed of 143 mph. The hydrogen 7 also features a dual-mode power unit that can switch easily from the two fuel types. When running on pure hydrogen, the vehicle doesn’t emit any pollutants instead it only emits water vapor. The dual-mode driving feature enables the Hydrogen 7 to achieve a maximum traveling distance of more than 400 miles, 125 miles on hydrogen and 300 on gasoline before refueling. As expected for BMW models, the Hydrogen 7 is equipped with quality BMW parts like those auto parts found in Auto Parts Fast.

BMW will produce the Hydrogen 7 next year and will be available here in the US and other some other countries.
