The current trend in the automotive industry is the development and production of environmentally friendly vehicles. This trend is due to the increasing prices of petroleum fuel and the increasing awareness about global warming. Several alternative technologies are already used by car manufacturers to reduce the amount of fossil fuel consumed by vehicles and thus the emission of greenhouse gases that contributes significantly to the global warming reduction. In the United States, the hybrid technology over and it is clear that even celebrities are known for gas-electric hybrid cars drive. While hybrid vehicles to reduce the amount of burned fossil fuels, it is not the most promising technology for clean cars. That distinction belongs to the fuel cell technology, hydrogen as a fuel and eliminates the use of petroleum fuel and emissions of greenhouse gases. BMW is aware of this fact, which is why they have a car under the 7-series developed, but it can run on both petrol and hydrogen fuel. The Hydrogen 7 is referred to as the vehicle will make its appearance next week on the roads of the United Kingdom. The vehicle is the first hydrogen-powered luxury sedan in the world. Initially, BMW produces eight of these cars in the UK as part of its Clean Energy program. The aforementioned environmental initiative involves the production of 100 units of the Hydrogen 7. According to Jim O'Donnell, BMW UK Managing Director: "The arrival of our Hydrogen 7 cars could not come at a better time. Politicians, business leaders, the media and consumers are engaged in healthy debate about the future of energy and use. Meanwhile, the automotive industry is committed to cleaner motoring, with a range of possible solutions available today and are designed for medium-and long-term. BMW is the core of the future of the car with a tremendous developments in petrol and diesel engines, hybrid powertrains and hydrogen technologies. " O'Donnell added: "Our program has Efficient Dynamics energy-saving technologies that break the 60 miles per gallon and one hundred twenty grams per kilometer CO2 barriers introduced our new diesels are cleaner and greener than many hybrids today, yet the power and performance All our cars has improved. Clean, green driving can also be exciting and dynamic, and the new BMW Hydrogen 7 models embody that philosophy. "The vehicles will come from BMW will be used on high profile events to promote the technology. While fuel cell is the most environmentally friendly alternative fuel technology, its use is hampered by several problems. One of these is the cost of production. As fuel cell technology uses advanced components, the cost of these materials makes hydrogen powered vehicles impractical for most car buyers. Ongoing research and development but is expected to cost the production of such green cars to be reduced. Another problem of using hydrogen-powered vehicles is the availability of refilling stations offering hydrogen as fuel. Uwe Ellinghaus has this to say on the matter: "The age-old chicken-and-egg debate is resolved. BMW, hydrogen-powered automobiles on line, and it is time to engage with business leaders and politicians the development of a hydrogen highway - the supply and infrastructure requirements that hydrogen to make a viable fuel voor the consumer's progress. We hope that the experience of these cars rijden in normale situations zal mensen encourage join the debate. No doubt the many years for a suitable infrastructure to develop hydrogen is a good option for consumers, but all indications are hydrogen is the only real long-term sustainable energy source for cars. Public hydrogen filling stations have been developed in Germany and California, and the presence of BMW Hydrogen 7 cars in the UK will undoubtedly bring the future closer for British drivers. " The BMW Hydrogen 7 is equipped with an internal combustion engine designed to run on both gasoline and hydrogen fuel. Switch between gasoline and hydrogen is as simple as pressing a button. When one decides to switch from petrol to hydrogen, the power and performance is not affected giving the car the most convenient flex-fuel vehicles. For the car to run on either fuel, BMW with the two hydrogen fuel tanks. The use of these two fuels, the hydrogen economy a range of more than 425 miles. With hydrogen fuel, the car is expected to run for 125 miles, while the gasoline, it can get 300 miles on a full tank. In terms of performance, the Hydrogen 7 is true to its origins as a BMW. It also uses the same components for the BMW chassis and other systems such as BMW calipers, shock absorbers and steering assembly.
