Hydrogen's Role in Sustainable Mobility

Hydrogen is emerging as a key element for a sustainable, carbon-free economy due to its clean and versatile energy properties, with applications in various industrial sectors such as chemical production, metallurgy, transportation, and energy. Toyota Gazoo Racing is committed to developing hydrogen-powered hypercars for the World Endurance Championship, with plans to introduce these vehicles in 2028, despite regulatory uncertainties. However, Toyota's consumer hydrogen vehicle, the Mirai, faces challenges regarding hydrogen fuel availability and cost-effectiveness, especially in markets like California where infrastructure is limited. BMW Group is also focusing on sustainability by integrating recycled materials into its supply chain and emphasizing the use of green energy, particularly in the production of steel, aluminum, and batteries.
