Toyota buggy with Yamaha hydrogen engine competes in the Dakar Rally
With the Mission 1000 program, the organizers of the Dakar rally aim to encourage automotive manufacturers to develop next-generation carbon-neutral propulsion technologies such as hydrogen engines and electric or biofuel hybrid vehicles.
HySE's contribution to Mission 1000 will be the HySE-X1 equipped with a hydrogen engine. It will be driven under some of the toughest environmental conditions in the world's toughest motorsport, which according to Toyota provides an excellent opportunity to examine the performance of the hydrogen engine under such conditions. In this way, potential issues of the new engines in vehicles such as motorcycles, quads, and similar small vehicles could be identified and the basic development accelerated.
Chassis from Belgium, Engine by Yamaha
The HySE-X1, which will participate in the event, is based on a chassis built by the HySE partner company Overdrive Racing, based in Belgium. The vehicle features a modified layout to accommodate a hydrogen tank and fuel supply system. It is powered by the hydrogen-powered motorcycle engine that HySE is currently using as part of its research activities. Refueling with hydrogen and maintenance will be carried out by Overdrive Racing.
"We have decided to participate in the Dakar Rally, which we know has a rich history and tradition. Our main reason for participating is that we have the opportunity to communicate the results of our research in an easily understandable way," explains Kenji Komatsu, Chairman of HySE and Executive Officer of the Technical Research & Development Center, Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd. "Additionally, by participating in the event, we can identify potential issues and refine our technology to solve the technical challenges required for the imminent introduction of small hydrogen vehicles. We hope that everyone will look for us and cheer us on!"
HySE also plans to display a model of the HySE-X1 at the motorsport program booth at the Japan Mobility Show 2023.
What does this mean?
HySE is researching small hydrogen engines and is now testing them under the harshest conditions. Furthermore, by participating in the world-famous Dakar Rally, HySE aims to promote its presence and initiatives, thereby working on building a global and cross-industry network for the realization of compact hydrogen mobility.
