Unfortunately this isn’t a new car but a fuel cell scooter from Japan, but the technology is moving forward.
It would seem that this scooter which was shown at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show was actually a major hit. To make this amazing scooter Intelligent Energy have had the help of Suzuki in terms of support and of course finanical backing.
Having stunned the motorcycle world two years ago with the Crosscage fuel cell motorbike, Intelligent Energy and Suzuki have now applied this advanced fuel cell technology to a more accessible form of two-wheeled transportation.
The Suzuki Burgman showcase had the scooter earlier this month and by the looks of things it really does have the potential of looking to actually rid the world of the bad emissions. Of course if you do not know how it all works it is all powered by hydrogen which means it can be refueled rather quickly and has a great riding range.
Believe it or not these engines are quite easy to mass manufacture which means they could easily be made available to the people of the world.
“The zero-emissions Burgman scooter is the latest product of the successful commercial relationship between Suzuki and Intelligent Energy”, commented Dr. Henri Winand, CEO at Intelligent Energy.
“Of course, these clean fuel cell engine powered motorcycles are not simply for motor shows, and can be widely available to everyone in the near future. It actually already has a market of just over 40 million units per annum meaning there is a hell of a lot to get out of it all. As part of this process, Intelligent Energy and Suzuki will continue to work on clean fuel cell powered motorcycles and plan to hold demonstrations of the fuel cell scooter in the near future”
So there you have it, the possible future for the car. Let us just hope that it does come to the car industry in the near future and doesn’t end up as a cheap Audi Of course for the time being you could go for a current car like the Audi R8 or the Audi TT Roadster.
