BMW Hydrogen 7 Gets Star Support

BMW isn’t missing out on the trend towards cleaner burning vehicles. The BMW Hydrogen 7 has been associated with some big name celebrities around the world. In August, the BMW Hydrogen 7 completed the 4,000 mile Hydrogen Road Tour that was designed by the United States Department of Transportation to draw attention to hydrogen fuel.
The BMW Hydrogen 7 boasts a 260 horsepower engine with 290 lbs-ft of torque and a zero to 60mph time of 9.2 seconds with no emissions. During the 2008 Hydrogen Road Tour, the vehicle achieved a more than 200-mile hydrogen only driving range. There are two Hydrogen 7 models – the monofuel model runs only on hydrogen while the bi-fuel model can run on hydrogen or standard gasoline.
From the August BMW Press Release:
“For more than a year, the BMW fleet of bi-fuel Hydrogen 7s has been an important milestone on the road to a hydrogen future, with more than 150 Pioneers driving nearly 2 million miles so far. The Pioneer Program, as it is called, has provided the flexibility of being able to gather real-world driving experience driving on hydrogen with the peace of mind that comes from knowing you won’t run out of fuel.â€
