Amplats, BMW and Sasol plan to work together to encourage the production and use of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
, BMW and Sasol plan to work together to develop infrastructure that will encourage the production and use of hydrogen-powered vehicles in South Africa.
Hydrogen vehicles are struggling to take off because of high costs and a fledgling fuelling infrastructure. Two years ago, Sasol, a top emitter of greenhouse gases in South Africa, partnered with Toyota on a pilot project to research the use of the fuel along freight corridors, while Anglo American invested as much as R1.
BMW is “still trialling” the technology that uses green hydrogen as it gauges the market and will need to see lower costs, Peter van Binsbergen, CEO of BMW Group South Africa, told reporters at a Cape Town conference. A fuel infrastructure would need to follow in order to move toward a bigger roll-out, he said.
