Major Japanese bike manufacturers are working together to develop hydrogen engines.

The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry has given Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha permission to form a technological research association.

The Hydrogen tiny Mobility & Engine Technology (HySE) association intends to collaborate with special members Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Toyota to create hydrogen-powered engines for tiny mobility.

The organisation will address challenges that hydrogen-powered engines face, such as quick flame speed and a vast region of ignition, which results in unstable combustion, and limited fuel tank capacity in tiny mobility vehicles.

Members of HySE will conduct fundamental research on hydrogen-powered engines, drawing on essential skills and technologies from conventional engines.

HySE members share research tasks. Suzuki will conduct element studies on the functionality, performance, and reliability of hydrogen-powered engines, whilst Honda will conduct research for model-based development of hydrogen-powered engines.

Yamaha will investigate the specifications for a hydrogen refuelling system and hydrogen tanks for small mobility vehicles in the meanwhile.

The auxiliary equipment necessary for a gasoline supply system and tanks, as well as the equipment fitted between the fuel tank and the injector, is the responsibility of Kawasaki.

The four businesses are among the most well-known motorcycle manufacturers in the world. This suggests that the organisation will most likely take into account the new technology for its motorcycles.
