The pressure plate, which delivers hydrogen and oxygen to theįuel cell stack, is made from cast plastic parts and light-alloyĬastings, also from the Landshut plant. The stack housing is manufactured in the light metalįoundry at BMW Group Plant Landshut using a sand casting technique.įor this, molten aluminium is poured into a mould made fromĬompacted sand mixed with resin in a process specially designed for Stack is compressed by machine with a force of five tonnes and placed Once the individual components have been inspected for any damage, the Stacking of the fuel cells is largely a fully automated process. The next step involves fitting all the other components to The cells are first assembled into a fuelĬell stack. The two companies have enjoyed a partnershipĬharacterised by trust for many years and have been collaborating onįuel cell systems are manufactured in two main steps, based on The BMW Group sources the individual fuel cells from the Toyota These include the high-speed compressor with turbineĪnd high-voltage coolant pump, for instance. The BMW Group also developed special hydrogen components for its newįuel cell system. Such as charge air coolers, air filters, control units and sensors, Technological equivalents of features found on combustion engines, Importance for the drive system’s efficiency. Supply of both elements to the fuel cell’s membrane is of crucial Hydrogen from the tanks and oxygen from the air. Is one of the core elements in the BMW iX5 Hydrogen and generates aĪ chemical reaction takes place in the fuel cell between gaseous Its in-house competence centre for hydrogen in Munich. Produces the highly efficient fuel cell systems for the pilot fleet at The BMW Group is systematically pushing forward withĭevelopment of hydrogen fuel cell technology as an additional optionįor locally emission-free individual mobility in the future. Group’s leading development expertise in the field of electric drive Its hydrogen fuel cell system is further proof of the BMW Initial prototypes were then madeĪvailable at the IAA Mobility 2021 for visitors to experience in One technology on its own will not beĮnough to enable climate-neutral mobility worldwide.”ĭeveloped on the basis of the current BMW X5 was first unveiled as aĬoncept at the IAA show in 2019. Hydrogen is the missing piece in the jigsaw when itĬomes to emission-free mobility. Use this potential to also accelerate the transformation of the After all, it is one of the most efficient ways of storingĪnd transporting renewable energies”, said Oliver Zipse,Ĭhairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG. Play in the energy transition process and therefore in climate “Hydrogen is a versatile energy source that has a key role to Gain a direct impression of what the BMW iX5 Hydrogen has to offer. This active driving experience will therefore be theįirst chance for people not involved in the development process to Internationally for demonstration and trial purposes for various The fleet of under 100 vehicles will then be employed After four years ofĭevelopment work, the BMW iX5 Hydrogen vehicle and development project International media representatives with the first vehicles in a pilotįleet that will go into service this year.
