BMW is ramping up on what it claims to be its first-ever series production hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle, going on sale by 2028. However, the German automaker has had a few “first hydrogen cars” in its past, dating all the way back to the late 1970s. What will make these future hydrogen FCEVs different is ideally the scale at which they’re sold and adopted, with reports indicating the brand is prepping a hydrogen powertrain for its popular BMW X5 SUV, though even the brand admits it will be limited by infrastructure.
