Suzuki Unveils Hydrogen Fuel Cell Scooter
Suzuki released BURGMAN FUEL CELL SCOOTER, as its world premier at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show 2009 on October 21. The fuel cell of BURGMAN FUEL CELL SCOOTER is air-cooled and concomitantly light, compact, and structurally simple. A 70MPa hydrogen tank (the highest-pressure tank used on a bike thus far) allows a usable riding range.
Suzuki developed the Burgman Fuel-Cell Scooter using technologies from the Crosscage concept motorcycle that it displayed at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, thereby realizing a more practical and accessible fuel-cell bike.
Major Features
•The fuel cell generates electricity through a reaction between hydrogen and the oxygen in the air. It’s air-cooled and concomitantly light, compact, and structurally simple.
•A 70MPa hydrogen tank (the highest-pressure tank used on a bike thus far) allows a usable riding range. The tank is mounted within a robust frame for safety.
•The fuel cell was made by British company Intelligent Energy.
