BMW: Dr Jorgen Guldner
Dr Jorgen Guldner, BMW’s head of hydrogen technology development, visited Japan in October 2023.
On October 24th, we held our own fuel cell vehicle symposium.
Invited journalists to highlight the potential of hydrogen FCEVs.
BMW’s hydrogen FCEV:
BMW has been conducting basic research on hydrogen FCEVs jointly with Toyota since 2011.
We have been testing the iX5 HydrogenFCEV for four years.
Japan Mobility Show 2023:
Japan Mobility Show 2023 will focus on exhibiting BEVs.
Meanwhile, BMW is exhibiting its own iX5 Hydrogen.

Electricity alone cannot sustain future transportation infrastructure.
That’s why BMW continues to develop hydrogen-fueled FCEVs.
BMW’s FCEV development:
In 2013, BMW announced research on hydrogen FCEVs.
In fact, in 2011, we began joint basic research on FCEVs with Toyota Motor Corporation.
Introducing iX5 Hydrogen:
iX5 Hydrogen FCEV will be unveiled in Antwerp in autumn 2022.
It is a model based on BMW’s SAV/X5 (Sports Activity Vehicle).
Kobe MK introduces FCEV:
In August 2023, BMW’s iX5 Hydrogen was introduced as a taxi vehicle.
1. iX5FCEV has already completed the experimental stage and is currently in the performance review stage.
2. We have a proven track record of driving around the world, from extremely cold to scorching heat.
Kobe MK aims to convert its fleet to ZEV by 2030.

We asked Kobe MK to evaluate the iX5 Hydrogen as a taxi.
Kobe MK already has a track record of introducing FCEVs at MIRAI.
That’s why we cooperated with BMW’s demonstration experiment this time.
Disadvantages of EV:
EVs have long charging times and long waiting times.
In cold regions, hydrogen is more advantageous.
Situation in EU member states:
There are too few charging facilities in the EU. There are also many users in remote locations.
Especially in Italy, Spain and Portugal, there are very few EV charging facilities.
Hydrogen filling station
’Installing hydrogen filling equipment at existing service stations’ is easy.
Disadvantages of FCEV:
The problems include the size of the fuel tank and the lack of hydrogen stations.
EU filling station:
1. Plan to install it in cities with a population of 100,000 or more by 2030.
2. Filling stations will be installed at intervals of 200 km.
This is automatic operation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Drivers can fill it themselves.
The initial focus will be on large vehicles, but a 700bar base for passenger cars will also be included.
Number of hydrogen stations:
As of November 2023,
In Europe, Germany is overwhelmingly the country with 105 installations.
In North America, the land area is large and there are 116 locations.
The largest number is in China, with 300 locations.
Problems with wind power generation:
Wind power generation produces a large amount of electricity. However, the drawback is that it cannot store electricity.
In Europe, wind turbines are often stopped.
This is to adjust the amount of power generated according to power supply and demand.
Use of green hydrogen:
Green hydrogen is produced using electrolysis methods from sources such as solar power generation.
Of course, green hydrogen can be stored.
Green hydrogen and FCEV:
Green hydrogen and FCEV are an ideal combination.
Toyota has a lot of know-how that can be utilized with MIRAI.
There are many manufacturers around the world who want to use green hydrogen in FCEV technology.
This is the reason why BMW has been conducting joint research with Toyota.
BMW’s next generation ‘Z4 Roadster’
BMW is developing fuel cells and small tanks for its sports coupe.
It has a longer cruising range than an EV. 500km with iX5 Hydrogen.
The battery is small. Do not use rare metals such as cobalt.
