In a significant move towards sustainable logistics, BMW Group has introduced two zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell trucks as part of the European H2Haul project. These trucks will operate on routes between Leipzig, Landsberg, and Nuremberg, serving as real-world tests for hydrogen fuel cell technology in freight transport. To support this initiative, BMW is constructing specialized hydrogen fueling stations in Leipzig and Hormersdorf, designed for rapid, high-capacity refueling essential for efficient logistics operations.
Simultaneously, BMW is exploring hydrogen combustion engine technology through its participation in the HyCET project (Hydrogen Combustion Engine Trucks). This initiative aims to assess the viability of hydrogen combustion engines alongside fuel cell drivetrains in heavy-duty transport. While hydrogen combustion engines may consume more fuel than fuel cells, they offer advantages in terms of cost and existing engine technology adaptation.
These dual efforts underscore BMW’s commitment to evaluating multiple hydrogen-based solutions to achieve zero-emission logistics, contributing to the broader goal of sustainable and efficient freight transportation.
