Suzuki Burgman Hydrogen: Suzuki is set to unveil its first hydrogen scooter, the Burgman Hydrogen, at the upcoming Japan Mobility Conference 2023. This move comes as part of the company’s research and development efforts to achieve carbon neutrality.
According to reports, the scooter will be based on the existing commercial Burgman 400 ABS, fitted with a 70 MPa hydrogen tank and a hydrogen engine. While Suzuki has not revealed much information about the Burgman Hydrogen, it is worth noting that it is not the first automotive company to work on a hydrogen-powered two-wheeler. Just last month, the US-based company Triton Electric made its entry into the Indian market with a hydrogen scooter that promises a range of 175 km.
In addition to Suzuki, TVS is also working on a hydrogen scooter and has filed a patent for it. However, Suzuki has already launched an electric version of the Burgman scooter.
The Suzuki Burgman Hydrogen is expected to have a design similar to the electric-petrol variant and will have a capacity equivalent to a 125cc scooter. It has also been stated that the company aims to collect data on the daily use of bikes for transportation and purchasing through this demonstration.
As the world shifts towards sustainable transportation, hydrogen-powered vehicles are gaining attention for their potential to reduce carbon emissions. With companies like Suzuki and Triton Electric venturing into the hydrogen scooter market, it will be interesting to see how this technology develops and how it will contribute to a greener future.
