Kawasaki recently made headlines by testing the first internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycle fueled by hydrogen publicly at the Suzuka Circuit. The company is planning to introduce a hydrogen-powered motorcycle for commercial sale by 2030, with the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX model being the first glimpse of this innovation. The bike features a 998 cc Kawasaki inline-four supercharged engine that has been upgraded to support direct hydrogen fuel injection. Modifications to the chassis have been made to accommodate the hydrogen fuel cylinder, with a separate hydrogen fuel management system now in place. The motorcycle's hydrogen tanks are located on the side and can be easily refilled through valves. Kawasaki emphasizes that the performance of hydrogen engines is on par with traditional gasoline engines, releasing only water vapor as emissions. The efficient burning of hydrogen results in improved responsiveness, although specific power figures for the hydrogen model are not provided yet. This initiative aligns with Kawasaki's long-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality and promoting environmentally friendly transportation options. Kawasaki is part of the Hydrogen Small Mobility & Engine Technology (HySE) consortium, which includes major players in the industry like Yamaha, Suzuki, and Honda. The collaborative effort aims to advance hydrogen-powered vehicles and engines, emphasizing sustainability and innovation in the transportation sector.
