BMW Group has introduced a 700 bar high-pressure hydrogen tank for its iX5 Hydrogen model, which enables a range of up to 750 km. The company said fuel cell vehicles can be built on the same production line as other powertrain types, supporting production flexibility. The system uses multiple interconnected chambers controlled by a central valve and can store up to seven kilograms of hydrogen, with refueling completed in less than five minutes.
