Soon to Come, the BMW hybrid
To cope up with the heated green cars production race, Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) AG announced that they will also be mass producing their first hybrid car in four years. Recently, the highlights of the Los Angeles Motor show are the hybrids and the alternative fueled vehicles.
BMW had nothing else to prove when it comes to innovation. Aside from being the world’s top luxury automaker, the BMW badge had been attached to quality made vehicles. However, there is always room for improvement and BMW takes the hybrid technology as an opportunity to give their customers the best of the best. It’s another milestone BMW will make that other automakers will follow.
On the new BMW 7 series, the German automaker plans that under the BMW hood is an engine that can run both on hydrogen and petroleum. Trials are already made to some prototypes all over the world. BMW’s engineers and researches are given practical feedbacks giving them insight on what should be improved on the present system in the hybrids.
Among everything, BMW wants their hybrid to be genuinely eco-friendly combined with superb performance and style.
BMW’s hybrid would not be like the typical hybrids of other manufacturers. Aside from the electric motor the car will use, BMW plans that its internal combustion engine will be using a mixture of hydrogen and petroleum. More complicated, this idea requires more research and advancements because an internal combustion engine commonly needs fuel taking the liquid form.
For BMW, hydrogen is the automotive world’s future fuel. It may seem very futuristic though because the industry still needs a long time line to develop a vehicle that can run exclusively on hydrogen and BMW sees it as a possible achievement.
BMW said that they have chosen hydrogen as the power source of their new vehicle because it is the best answer to the biggest environmental related problem, harmful vehicle emissions. With hydrogen, water is the only by product compared to other fuels emitting carbon dioxide, a large contribution to pollution and global warming.
You are so clever, and also so naughty.
