New Audi Is Fuel Cell Powered, Nah Its Just A Scooter

Unfortunatley this isnt a brand new car but a new scooter that was revealed in Japan not too long ago, however it does mean the technology is moving forward.

Unveiled at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show the fuel cell powered scooter was a big hit. The company bringing this to us are called Intelligent Energy and in a joint venture with Suzuki they released the Suzuki Burgman Fuel Cell Scooter.

When the previous addition to this vehicle was released onto the show two years ago the people that attended were shocked so you can imagine would it felt like to see it put into a better looking vehicle that would be more realisic to drive.

The city-friendly Suzuki Burgman Fuel Cell Scooter is a demonstration of the potential for zero emissions motorcycles to significantly reduce emissions around the world. 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.

The scooter uses the latest version of Intelligent Energy’s unique and proprietary PEM clean fuel cell engine, which are light, compact and well-suited to mass manufacture.
“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. Intelligent Energy and Suzuki are actually going to start working even closer on making these vehicles even better and will be holding various tryouts soon

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 used Audi Of course for the time being you could go for a current car like the Audi R8 or the Audi TT Roadster.
