The second generation of the BMW fuel cell powertrain with a total system output of 275 kW will be piloted in the BMW i Hydrogen NEXT from 2022 (03/2020)

The fuel cell system generates up to 125 kW electric power from hydrogen (H2) and ambient air oxygen (O2). The electric converter is located below the fuel cell stack. It adapts the voltage level from the fuel cell to the voltage level of the electric powertrain and the peak power battery. (03/2020)

The BMW i Hydrogen NEXT will be propelled by the 5th generation e-machine, which will first be launched in the BMW iX3. The peak power battery located above the e-drive unit can supply boost power for additional dynamics, e. g. when overtaking. The total system output is 275 kW. (03/2020)
