MUNICH (Reuters) - BMW will roll out the world's first hydrogen-burning car in serial production early next year, the German premium automaker said on Tuesday, eager to put its stamp on cars with green credentials.

The specially equipped 7-Series executive cars emit only water vapor when running on hydrogen.

The car hits the market next April and will be shown at the Los Angeles car show in November, the company said. It had said in March the hydrogen cars would arrive within two years.
Looks like Racer's going green!!! :mrgreen: [/list:u]

oooo...nice :mrgreen:

Manual transmission, Cummins Turbo Diesel, long bed, Quad cab, gorgeous console and front end.......... I'll spare you all the rest of my raptures :bonk: :beaten:

Eve,

My truck would be as shiny as that... if I took a sandblaster to it.

More to the point... how do you produce enough electricity, to produce the hydrogen, to fill the hydrogen filling stations?

Until we start building Nuclear Power plants the whole electric car/hydrogen fuel cell car thing seems more like a PR gimmick.

Ughhh, recently some of this trucks have appeared here and they look awfully out of place on our narrow roads, not to mention that they take space for two cars on parking lots :grumble:.

I agree.

It's more of a "Look, we did it first!" kinda thing.

Then Im extra glad I live where I do in Florida. Half of the vehicles in our horse farm oriented town are trucks and the parking spaces are sized accordingly. :victory:

Actually the big 'uns are used for hauling and a shift works much better for that. Pisses the horses off in the trailers if you hit the brakes. Besides I like the better mileage. Over 22 a gallon! :woot:

@Geezer- My old Dodge Caravan has a paint job like your truck :hehe:

Yup. You need electricity to produce hydrogen from water. Most of the time, electricity produce with coal. =T

Yea, guess this vehicle is fine in horse farm town in Florida :victory:.

[/list:u] As much as I don't like Schumi you've got to admire the way he's fighting to go out on top. You know Alonso was on the podium thinking "WTF is going on here?!!?"

Ferrari and Schumi have surprised me: For the first half of the F1 season, most had left them for dead... Maybe they were sandbagging. ;)
