BMW to offer hydrogen car in two years?

BMW may offer a hydrogen-powered version of the 7-Series within the next two years, according to AFX News. BMW's hydrogen efforts center around the hydrogen combustion engine. BMW says this technology promises to offer motorists a driving experience very similar to that of gasoline engines, without having to compromise performance. The BMW approach is not the same as a hydrogen fuel cell, and does not involve the use of electric motors. The first cars are expected to run on either hydrogen or gasoline, for optimal practicality. BMW showed a prototype called the 745h in 2001, which featured a 8-cylinder combustion engine.
