gao le, who was promoted from president and ceo of bmw group greater china to director of bmw group, said that the low-carbon transformation of the automotive industry will not be accomplished in a day. bmw's self-developed innovative technologies have won awards at the world new energy vehicle conference for three consecutive years.

gaule made a special trip from munich, germany to attend the 2024 world new energy vehicle conference (wnevc) in china. bmw's independently developed "fuel cell passenger car modular hydrogen storage system technology" won the "global new energy vehicle frontier technology" award. at the world new energy vehicle conference last year and the year before last, bmw also won consecutive innovation awards, becoming the only foreign-funded company to win awards for three consecutive years.

in his speech at the conference, gaulle shared bmw's insights on low-carbon transformation and global cooperation, saying that the bmw group is optimistic about the development prospects of china's new energy vehicle market. bmw adheres to the strategy of advancing multiple technological paths simultaneously, and while continuing to promote electrification, it also vigorously promotes the development and application of hydrogen energy technology.

gaulle said that the low-carbon transformation of the automotive industry cannot be accomplished in a day. the bmw group firmly believes that "technological openness" is the only sustainable path towards a carbon neutral future to meet the diverse needs of consumers in different markets around the world and make steady progress. personal mobility moves towards a green future.

at this conference, bmw's independently developed "fuel cell passenger car modular hydrogen storage system technology" won the "global new energy vehicle frontier technology" award. this is the first time bmw has won such an award at the world new energy vehicle conference. the design of this hydrogen storage system is advanced and safe. the highly integrated modular design not only increases the hydrogen storage capacity but also improves the overall rigidity of the car body, providing technical support for the large-scale mass production of fuel cells on pure electric platforms. compared with the previous generation technology, the hydrogen storage capacity, cruising range, cabin and vehicle trunk space of this hydrogen storage system will be significantly increased.

at the previous two world new energy vehicle conferences, bmw's independently developed new energy drive technology won the "global new energy vehicle innovation technology" award for two consecutive years, including "high-performance excitation synchronous motor system" in 2022 and "high-performance excitation synchronous motor system" in 2023. m high-performance hybrid drive system". these honors not only demonstrate the industry's recognition of bmw's technological innovation capabilities, but also affirm bmw's practice of diversified strategies in the field of new energy vehicles.

the bmw high-performance excitation synchronous motor system is a high-performance version of the fifth-generation bmw edrive electric drive system. it relies on many innovative highlights such as highly integrated and modular design, 6-phase motor controller, excitation motor technology, and rare earth-free applications. it achieves stable and efficient high-power output, setting a new height in the field of high-performance electric drive technology. currently, this system has been applied in mass production in the innovative bmw ix m60 and innovative bmw i7 m70.

as the most powerful hybrid system in bmw history, the bmw m high-performance hybrid drive system relies on the golden combination of bmw m's exclusive high-performance 4.4l v8 twin-turbocharged engine and high-performance synchronous motor, innovative pre-drive system, and highly integrated design and many other innovative highlights bring drivers the ultimate driving pleasure with surging performance. at present, this system has taken the lead in mass production application on the new bmw m5 and innovative bmw xm label red.

in addition to electric drive technology, bmw also has more than 20 years of research and development experience in hydrogen fuel cell drive technology. bmw believes that hydrogen energy is an important part of achieving zero-emission future travel, and will launch the first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell high-end passenger vehicle (fcev) in 2028. since 2023, the bmw ix5 hydrogen fuel cell vehicle pilot fleet equipped with current hydrogen fuel cell technology has completed road tests in major cities around the world and completed mass production-level standard testing processes, including complete simulation and crash tests, individual components laboratory testing and vehicle testing in closed venues, etc. even in the extreme low temperature environment of the arctic circle or the high temperature desert road conditions of 45°c, the fuel cell drive system of this car still performs very well.

china is currently actively promoting the hydrogen economy and innovative technologies, and is gradually developing demonstration applications of fuel cell vehicles. bmw group’s research on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is highly consistent with the national innovation technology development strategy. in addition, bmw is also actively exploring the application of green hydrogen energy. after the first hydrogen refueling station in shenyang was put into operation this year, bmw brilliance immediately became the first user of the hydrogen refueling station. every day, five green hydrogen fuel trucks shuttle between bmw factories in shenyang to provide transportation services.

from bmw’s perspective, both the development of hydrogen energy technology and the green transformation of the industry are inseparable from open innovation, multi-party cooperation and good partnerships. in the chinese market, bmw is collaborating with more than 450 suppliers and more than 600 dealer partners to actively promote green technology innovation and application practices in the automotive industry. in the field of battery technology, bmw has established strategic partnerships with leading companies such as catl and everview lithium energy to create a win-win situation.

"as one of the important economic pillars, the automobile industry has a long industrial chain and far-reaching influence. in the green transformation of the industry, enterprises should pursue long-term and sustainable development." gaulle said, "bmw firmly believes that cooperation creates prosperity and growth, and multi-party cooperation should become a key force in meeting current and future challenges.”
