Right now, Daimler Group and Honda can be considered leaders of sorts on the fuel-cell market, but other automakers are pumping that all important R&D money into the alternative system. Most recently, Toyota announced they will introduced a production FC car in 2015 and even previewed it with a concept revealed in Tokyo.
BMW Group has also played with the idea in the past, producing fuel-cell version of both the Bangle-era 1-Series and 7-Series. But its efforts are focused on the development and the marketing process of the i3 and i8, so it needs a partner.
Automotive News reports on a article from German weekly business magazine Wirtschaftswoche that cites industry sources as saying GM and BMW are joining forces to co-develop fuel cell cars. The two are in advanced talks right now, and the American side declined to comment, while a BMW spokesman only confirmed they were discussing “various future technologies” with GM.
