BMW and GM Partnership On Hydrogen Fuel Cells?

WirtschaftsWoche, a German Magazine, reports that BMW and General Motors will sign a partnership that will give BMW access to GM’s existing fuel cell technology in exchange for research funding. Automotive News also reported that BMW previously confirmed that it was in discussions with GM, but did not disclose details of its new technology agreement.

Hydrogen-powered vehicles are a part of BMW’s future plans. As proof of this, a 1 Series Hybrid Hydrogen concept was unveiled last year as part of BMW’s plans for a future Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle. This cooperation with GM will grant BMW access to GM’s two-decade research on fuel cell technology.

This is the second partnership that BMW has recently entered that focuses on advanced technologies. Recently BMW partnered with Toyota on the development of lithium-ion batteries.
