BMW and NASA engineers announce successful completion of BMW Hydrogen 7 luxury sedan

NASA engineers have been hard at work lately, they have just launched the Space Shuttle Endeavour in to space and now they have just finished an eight-week test period with BMW on the BMW Hydrogen 7 project. The Hydrogen 7 is the first ever luxury sedan that is to be powered by hydrogen.

NASA was the perfect choice for BMW of North America to work with, as they use liquid hydrogen to get the shuttle in to space as the liquid has a high energy density. BMW Hydrogen 7 will be the first vehicle that can use this fuel source which is great for the environment as it can reduce CO2 emissions by at least 90 percent.

NASA personnel had the full use of a fleet of BMW Hydrogen 7s, which had a dual combustion engine that was capable of running on either on liquid hydrogen or gasoline. The cars system could shift seamlessly between the two different power sources.
