In 2004, the BMW H2R set nine internationally-recognised records and successfully demonstrated the performance levels hydrogen technology is capable of achieving. Its twelve-cylinder engine allowed a maximum speed of 302.4 km/h. In 2006, BMW went on to introduce the BMW Hydrogen 7. Produced on a small scale, this was the first hydrogen vehicle in the world to effortlessly prove its suitability for everyday use.
