Are hydrogen cars the future? BMW iX5 Hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) preview

Hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) might not be as front of mind as battery-electric vehicles (BEV) or hybrid vehicles – be they full (HEV) or plug-in (PHEV) – but they do have a significant role to play in the automotive industry's transition away from fossil fuels, according to certain brands.

One such brand is BMW, which like Toyota and Hyundai, has produced FCEVs to test out their real-world feasibility ahead of potential mass production in the future. The German brand's latest FCEV is the iX5 Hydrogen, which is based on the pre-facelift fourth-generation X5 large SUV.

In this news video, CarsGuide Senior Journalist Tom White deep-dives the role that FCEVs might play in the future of motoring while sampling the iX5 Hydrogen for the first time.
