While there had been a lot of buzz about a real hydrogen car, nobody proved it into a manageable vehicle other than the BMW. The BMW H7 is the almost refined and polished hydrogen the environmentalist have asked for. This is the car that can run even only using hydrogen. However, you have option to use other fuels also.

When you are running on hydrogen, after the combustion, the exhaust is simply water, more specifically, water vapour. It’s another milestone in auto-makers journey towards the ultimate green car. While all other fuel cars emit CO2 after combustion, the BMW H7 is free of this harmful gas which is causing the

The BMW Hydrogen 7 is not yet for sale, however, with further developments it is expected to become a popular choice. Since, the BMW Hydrogen 7 emits nothing but water vapour, it is in the list of the green cars like the electric car. So far these green cars had been concept cars, but the BMW Hydrogen 7 being produced in some hundred samples, seem to have arrived the ultimate edge of being in market commercially.

BMW has built about 100 of the Hydrogen 7 cars from the sedan genre with the famous V-12 engine and can run using either gasoline or hydrogen. Now, hydrogen is available in a gaseous form in atmospheric temperature. So the hydrogen going to be kept in the tank would be liquid hydrogen kept in tremendous high pressure. You can say, it’s a similar concept of using LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) or methane in the dual-fuel cars. Why do we need to keep them liquid? Because a tank full of gas is just equivalent of few drops of gasoline. So it needs to be compressed and kept as liquid. A tank of liquid hydrogen is sufficient to fill up a standard sized big balloons carrying human across the ocean. However, still it’s not sufficient. So the gasoline option is kept, since even with a tank full of liquid hydrogen, you’ll dry up after running 100 miles.

Now the puzzle to be solved is how to increase the autonomy on the hydrogen fuel and getting them refuelled across the country.

A new Congestion Charge for the City of London is coming on ground. It will come into effect in October this year. As per the new charge structure, vehicles that emit CO2 less than 120g/km will be exempted from the Congestion Charge. Cars that emit CO2 between 120g/km and 225g/km will continue to pay the current £8 a day fee, while those vehicles where the quantity of CO2 in emission is more than 225g/km will have to pay an augmented every day charge of £25.

This new charging arrangement connotes that the BMW and MINI owners will be fiscally better off than who possess other cars. All MINIs and most of the cars in BMW family will be subject to this £8 charge structure.

That’s not the end. We have additional good news for many BMW and MINI owners. The new BMW 118d, the MINI Cooper D and the MINI Clubman D; all emit very little CO2, to say clearly, the emission is below the minimum chargeable 120g/km discharge. So, do your calculation to see how MUCH you are saving thanks to BMW.

Out of all BMW cars, four cars are exceptionally fuel efficient. The three- and five-door BMW 118d has an extraordinary 62.8mpg on the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 119g/km –which places the vehicle into a lower category for yearly Vehicle Excise Duty in UK, too.

Talking about the MINI family, the 110hp MINI Cooper D and MINI Cooper D Clubman have unbelievable figures in terms of fuel-efficiency and CO2 emission. The MINI Cooper D is at present BMW Group’s most fuel-efficient car having an amazing 72.4mpg on the combined cycle with a CO2 emission of only 104g/km. The MINI Cooper D Clubman is also close to these figures with 68.9mpg and 109g/km CO2.

All these above mentioned vehicles have state-of-the-art Brake Energy Regeneration, Auto Start-Stop, excellent gearshift change indicator and Electric Power Steering under the EfficientDynamics technology of BMW. So, take care. Your moneybag my suffer from BMW-moneybag-obesity syndrome (only applicable for classic traditionalists, who are not yet comfortable with the plastic cards).

Surely, you have heard that there is a major push towards a greener planet with a huge amount of emphasize placed upon saving the planet and using less energy and fuels.  Well of course, every car manufacturer on the planet has grabbed this idea and is taking it in their own direction.  As you consider that vehicles alone are the one biggest causes of pollution, it is only natural that the car manufacturers take the green effort by the horns.

Consider that most companies are pursuing electric vehicles, or even hybrid cars and BMW attempting a hydrogen car is a sheer shock to many people.  Nevertheless, consider that hydrogen is one of the most bountiful elements on the planet and you can find an almost continuous source of fuel.  Consider as well that the main emission from the hydrogen vehicle is only water vapors and you can see how this has the potential to be something fabulous for the entire planet.

The bad news is that technology is not complete in order to really and effectively refuel the system, but with time, BMW is sure to perfect this task.  However, with only a push of a button it is possible to see a hydrogen engine convert to a gasoline engine.  This allows you to ensure you have the fuels needed.  While it may be several years before the hydrogen cars, actually hit the market they are determined to hit the market with the speed, style and power that is typical of a BMW.

With the technology being conducted towards a 12-cylinder engine this is plenty of horsepower for most cars and keeps typical BMW class and power right at your fingers while still working hard to improve the energy efficiency of the cars.  Only time will tell how effective this will truly happen to be.  The great news is that Germany currently has five liquid hydrogen refueling stations and there are two scheduled to be built soon in the United States.  This is great news for the hydrogen technology that is on the verge of erupting into one of the most promising fuel-efficient technologies currently available on the market.

As time progresses we should see great hope of seeing the model and concept hydrogen cars from BMW make their way to car shows and showrooms across the world.  Time will tell exactly how long it will take, but the design and inner workings of the engine is sure to be a very exciting design that will capture the hearts and interest of the environmental enthusiast across the world.
