BMW said it would release hydrogen-powered versions of one of its existing model lines in 2028 as part of its strategy—which Toyota shares—to broaden its reach with various fuel types.

Hydrogen fueling remains a serious challenge, but the two automakers think they can overcome those obstacles together.
