The fuel-cell hybrid vehicle launched by BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH is a prototype developed on the basis of a BMW 1 Series car that incorporates a 5 kW fuel cell APU from UTC Power along with a four-cylinder gasoline engine and an electric motor. All drive components were configured as optimized packages in the 3-door BMW 1 Series.

In 2016, Germany launched a 3-year study of oxymethylene ethers (OME) as clean diesel fuels with €800,000 (US$894,000). OMEs are promising synthetic diesel fuels with an enormous potential for the reduction of soot and NO x emissions. Earlier post.) The scientists thus adapted the injectors accordingly.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) are similar to BEVs in that they have an electric-only powertrain, but they store energy differently. FCEVs store hydrogen gas in a tank rather than charging a battery. The fuel cell’s electricity then powers an electric motor, which drives the vehicle like a BEV.
