Existing Core Competencies
Trace the steps of how our technology has created value for mobility and people’s lives
The energy generated by powertrains like engines or electric motors only connects to elation and comfort when paired with an excellent chassis or hull that moves and responds like it is in sync with the person’s thoughts and sensations.
Our pursuits here include new chassis and hull designs, technologies for machining and adapting materials, and testing and evaluations that quantify human senses and perceptions, all while ensuring our Monozukuri produces a distinct feeling of unity between a user and their machine.
- Cutting-Edge Development via Racing: An Electric Trials Bike
- The main hurdles to making electric mobility more widespread are range, power and torque characteristics, weight reduction, and affordability. See how Yamaha Motor is conducting R&D and testing an electric trials bike through competition (released June 2023).
- Hydrogen Outboard Motor
- Whether it is energy efficiency or cruising range, electrification in the marine industry presents high technical hurdles to clear. This outboard explores a different way to carbon neutrality on the water. Developed together with North American boatbuilder Regulator Marine, the outboard is fitted to a dedicated boat with three hydrogen tanks installed in the hull and is currently undergoing real-world testing (announced Nov. 2024).
