As we know, he is leading the development of the BMW iX5 Hydrogen, basically a fuel cell version of the famous X5 SUV. The car, which will be produced in small series, starting from the end of 2022.

We see that hydrogen fuel cell technology is especially relevant for large SUVs.

Then cooperation with Toyota can expand in other directions.

We have various projects that we are working on with Toyota.

Nota’s statements are interesting, especially in light of what BMW recently revealed during the release of its latest financial results.
