The Los Angeles even will be accompanied by a panel discussion, when the fleet arrives in July. The BMW Group unveiled its fleet of 15 hydrogen-powered 750hLs in Berlin in May 2000. It offers a practical solution to the desire to make emission-free vehicles available to the public. There are many advantages to the internal combustion engine. The weight of the vehicle would be increased significantly by the combination of the fuel cell and an electric motor.
Fuel cells take up a significant amount of space, making a conventional design all but impossible.
There are also sizable cost disadvantages associated with the fuel cells. On the other hand, the internal combustion, liquid hydrogen V12 in the BMW 750hL provides a driving experience that would make even the most ardent BMW enthusiast feel very much at home. In addition to the familiarity offered by an internal combustion engine, the use of liquid hydrogen provides another major advantage. With 37 gallons of liquid hydrogen onboard, the 750hL has a range of 250 miles. There is currently only one public liquid-hydrogen refueling station, which is located at the Munich airport.
