BMW Trials Hydrogen Combustion Truck at Leipzig Plant
Original: BMW Fuels Up: Hydrogen Combustion Truck Hits the Road in Leipzig Plant Logistics https:// en.auto-mania.fr/auto-news-en-
BMW is putting a hydrogen combustion truck to work in the logistics operations of its Leipzig plant, using the vehicle to haul materials on site. The move gives the company real-world experience with hydrogen internal combustion as an alternative to battery-electric and fuel-cell drivetrains for heavy duty transport. It adds to ongoing debate among carmakers over which zero-emission technology best suits trucks and industrial logistics.
Why now: Automakers and industry watchers are actively weighing hydrogen against batteries for decarbonising heavy logistics, so a working hydrogen combustion truck in a major plant draws attention.
