Kawasaki recently tested its hydrogen-powered motorcycle for the first time at the Suzuka Circuit, a significant step towards introducing a commercially viable model by 2030. The bike is integrated with a hydrogen system on the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX platform, where modifications have been made to the engine for direct hydrogen fuel injection. Chassis enhancements include new mounts for the hydrogen fuel cylinder and a dedicated hydrogen fuel management system. The motorcycle's design includes side-mounted hydrogen tanks that can be refueled via valves. Kawasaki ensures that the bike's engine performance is on par with its traditional gasoline-powered counterparts, offering a familiar riding experience while emitting only water vapor. The hydrogen technology offers improved responsiveness due to better efficiency across various temperatures compared to petrol. While specific performance figures for the hydrogen variant are not disclosed, the standard model boasts 210 hp and 137 Nm of peak torque. Kawasaki's focus on hydrogen aligns with its long-term goals for carbon neutrality, highlighting hydrogen-powered ICE bikes as a sustainable transportation solution. The company is part of the Hydrogen Small Mobility & Engine Technology consortium, which includes major players like Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha, underscoring a collaborative effort towards advancing hydrogen technology in the automotive industry.
