BMW to unveil its hydrogen-fuelled car in Singapore

By DPA

Singapore : Automobile behemoth BMW is ready to introduce its hydrogen-fuelled 7 Series limousine in Singapore but it won’t be for sale, the company said Wednesday.

The car, called Hydrogen 7, will be part of a BMW Clean Energy Exhibition to be held in the city-state next month.

Representing 20 years of research and development, the Munich-based carmaker has developed the first emission-free liquid hydrogen-powered luxury saloon suitable for everyday use, according to BMW.

The cars due to arrive in Singapore are part of a world tour which is currently in Australia.

The Hydrogen 7 has two fuel tanks, one for petrol and the other for liquid hydrogen, BMW said. When operated only on hydrogen fuel, the car emits water vapour.
