BMW hasn't ruled out licensing its hydrogen-electric technology
"We deliver combustion engines to other manufacturers. It's not only a few, it's quite a lot; it's a business model. That's because we have superior technology that we built up over decades ... and that is true for any technology. It could be for autonomous driving components, for example. So, the possibility is always there, but it must make sense.
We don't do it just for the sake of it," Zipse explained.hydrogen"We will use any opportunity, but you must always fit it to the brand. The brand fit is one of the secrets of the success of BMW. You cannot do everything just because the technology is there; there must be a solid brand fit. Currently, talking about hydrogen, that fits best to BMW.
