BMW AG is developing a fuel cell-powered version of its upcoming X7 SUV.
The fuel cell model will be unveiled at next month’s Frankfurt auto show, according to BMWBlog.com, which doesn’t cite its sources. The online enthusiast site says the hydrogen-fueled vehicle will be built alongside the traditionally powered X7, which is due in 2019, at BMW’s plant in Spartanburg, S.C., plant. A plug-in hybrid variant also is said to be in development.
In 2015, BMW showed a fuel cell-powered concept version of its i8 electric supercar. The company reportedly also has tested a fuel cell version of its 5 Series Gran Turismo model.
