Summary

As a secondary energy carrier, hydrogen is considered to offer a potential answer to the question of how individual mobility can be preserved in the future. BMW began to examine the use of liquid hydrogen as a fuel for motor vehicles as long as 10 years ago. In addition to investigating the storage technology inside the vehicle, work focussed particularly on engine development. The conflicting interests which that engine design provoked with regard to engine output, nitrogen oxide emissions, backfiring into the intake pipe and the costs of a mixture preparation system caused BMW to start planning a special test rig for hydrogen engines in 1987.
