Two Decades of Development
The high-performance, hydrogen-powered BMWs that have driven around the globe and are currently winning speed records are the result of intense research and development.
Since 1979, BMW has been a leader in harnessing hydrogen energy for use in combustion engines. The history of BMW hydrogen cars, at a glance:
• 1979: BMW builds the 520, a prototype with an engine that runs on either hydrogen or gasoline.
• 1984-1996: BMW builds and road-tests three generations of hydrogen cars.
• 2000-2002: BMW uses the powerful 750iL as the platform for the fifth-generation hydrogen car, the 5.0-liter, V-12 750hL. Fifteen 750hL's form the world's first fleet of experimental, hydrogen-powered vehicles. Traveling around the globe, they perform nearly flawlessly, jointly logging over 100,000 miles.
• 2001: The redesigned 7 Series serves as the platform for BMW's sixth-generation concept car: the 745h, capable of operating on hydrogen or gasoline. With hydrogen in its tank, this 4.4-liter V-8 generates 182 horsepower, reaches 62 mph in 9.9 seconds, and has a top speed of 134 mph.
• 2004: BMW's H2R hydrogen-powered concept racecar sets nine speed records, steeply raising the performance benchmark for alternative-fueled vehicles.



Inceput?? Au realizari in domeniu inca din 79 .......
Da, stiu ce valori ale emisiilor are un X5 (Diesel) ...tocmai deacea nu-i vad rostu unui X5 green-diesel.....motoarele pe motorina oricum polueaza mai intens decat propulsoarele . (Incearca sa-npace capra cu varza in loc sa lucreze strict pe diesel ..dar cine stie....poate iese ceva si asa....tinand cont ca dieselul comsuma evident mai putin ca un benzinar plus se obtine in cantitati mai mari din aceeasi masa de petrol fata de benzina)
Aceasta actiune a celor de la BMW e alimentata de alte concepte precedente (Diesel-hybrid) ca Citroen C4, Peugot 307, Ford Reflex, Ford C-Max minivan, Mercedes Benz S class ,Citroen C Metisse..etc
Actiune de marketing........oricum pe parcurs ( Se pare ca sectiunea hibride e importanta in cadrul concernului bavarez ) se vor obtine rezultate importante si vor dezvolta si ramura diesel-hybrid....
