| Diaz Joins
Ed Norton, Will Ferrell, Jay Leno and Others Among the First Americans
to Hit the Roads In BMW's Hydrogen-Powered Vehicle
Hollywood,
CA--Demonstrating her continued dedication to the exploration of environmentally
sustainable energies, Cameron Diaz will be traveling to the 80th Annual
Academy Awards ceremony in the BMW Hydrogen 7 Series. The BMW H7 is the
first hydrogen-powered luxury sedan, which emits almost nothing but water
vapor, and still features all the amenities and comfort of a BMW 7 Series.
Diaz, who will present on the awards
telecast, has been a leading advocate of environmental issues over the
past five years by working with organizations such as the NRDC, Global
Green, The Climate Project, and Live Earth.
While the BMW Hydrogen 7 is not for
sale, it is considered to be a milestone in bringing forward hydrogen as
the sustainable fuel for individual transportation. Running in hydrogen
mode, the BMW Hydrogen 7 essentially emits nothing but water vapor, representing
a major step in reducing harmful CO2 emissions. It is not a concept car,
but a production model vehicle that has successfully completed the entire
Product Development Process.
A number of entertainers, politicians,
business leaders and more have already opted for a BMW Hydrogen 7 as their
energy-efficient ride of choice in order to evalutate the technology. Those
who have recently chosen the vehicle include previously announced members
of the BMW Hydrogen 7 Pioneer Program: Ed Norton, Will Ferrell, Jay Leno,
opera star Placido Domingo and famed director Steve Gaghan, among others.
Other notable figures who have opted for rides in a BMW Hydrogen 7 include
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the "Ocean's 13" premiere in Hollywood;
Fox Entertainment Chairman Peter Liguori at the FOX All-Star Party in Santa
Monica; Richard Gere and Sharon Stone at the Cinema for Peace Gala in Berlin;
and "An Inconvenient Truth" producer Davis Guggenheim (Oscar® for the
best Documentary Feature) and Best Foreign Language Film Oscar® winner,
director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck at the 2007 Academy Awards. The
vehicle has also made an impact oversees, with luminaries such as Michael
Glos, German Federal Minister for Economy and Technology, and Günter
Verheugen, Vice President of the European Commission, world renowned soprano
Anna Netrebko and many others.
