During the 2023 International Motor and Smart Mobility Expo in Germany, BMW Group’s Chairman, Zipse, revealed that BMW’s next-generation vehicles may also be compatible with hydrogen fuel cell propulsion systems.
We foresee that hydrogen energy can have applications in personal transportation. Moreover, we believe that fuel cell and pure electric drive technologies can complement each other perfectly. In fact, Zipse stated, “Hydrogen energy is the missing piece in achieving emission-free travel.
Academician Ouyang Minggao of the Chinese Academy of Sciences predicted at the 2023 World Hydrogen Technology Conference that hydrogen energy could become a 10 trillion yuan industry in the future.
