BMW is to start selling its first hydrogen-powered cars in four years as the company races to create an alternative to battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs).

The German carmaker hailed a “milestone in automotive history” as it announced that its first fuel-cell vehicles would go on sale in 2028.

The cars will use technology developed by Toyota – the world’s largest carmaker – with a hydrogen variant of an existing BMW model available that year. No details of the price or the scale of production were announced.

Oliver Zipse, BMW’s chairman, said: “Powered by hydrogen and driven by the spirit of our cooperation, it will underscore how technological progress is shaping future mobility.
