Utilizing hydrogen as fuel which virtually emits no CO2 has now become a reality and one that participants at the UN Climate Change Conference COP 14 currently in progress in Poznan, Poland can see for themselves. 21 Bmw Hydrogen 7 hydrogen-propelled vehicles are supplying the official transport service at the most significant climate change conference of 2008. The BMW Group is also showing a couple of electrically-run MINI E cars at the gathering.

These two ground-breaking versions are being utilized by the BMW Group to highlight the most likely shape of sustainable mobility for the next generation. A lead venture involving in excess of 500 electrically-propelled MINI-based vehicles has been inaugurated to explore the latency of electromobility in both the US and Europe. The main objective of the test is to examine how electrically-propelled cars are driven in daily environments. Because of this, the BMW Group is putting the MINI E models with fleets to be used publicly. The objective behind this is to generate data that will assist the firm to convey appropriate and fitting information from real-world experience into the continuing development of an EV. Details after the jump!

In addition to this, the study will also focus on the technical and economic challenges given by the technology, specifically those in connection with the lithium-ion cells. The MINI E may not improve on local CO2 emissions, but it offers lots of driving pleasure for sure. It can sprint from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.5 seconds, has a restricted maximum speed of 95 mph and a maximum range of 156 miles making it ideal for daily use. Two models of the MINI E have been made by the BMW Group and are available for test drives in Poznan as a means of demonstrating this new technology. Already, the BMW Hydrogen 7 has proven its daily usefulness in countries around the globe. In fact, 100 copies of the vehicle have together gathered in excess of two million miles internationally since the inauguration of the hydrogen fleet in the later part of 2006. Equipped with a hydrogen combustion engine, the BMW Hydrogen 7 can be fuelled with either gasoline or hydrogen as the purest alternative of all. BMW Hydrogen 7 emits practically no CO2 or under 5grams/100 kilometers, yet it can generate up to 260 hp, and therefore show that sustainable mobility and “The Ultimate Driving Machine” can go together seamlessly. Together, these show that the participants in Poznan are getting pleasure from well-known dependability and comfort in the fleet of 21 BMW Hydrogen 7 official shuttle conveyances at the meeting, but with a totally potent dose of eco-friendliness.
