2007 Yamaha FC-AQEL
FC-AQEL (Special exhibition model/prototype)
Length/Width/Height=1,855/650/1,150mm
Power unit=Synchronous motor
Fuel tank capacity=4.7LX2
This is a fuel cell motorcycle mounting the “Yamaha Hydrogen Fuel Cell System” fueled by compressed hydrogen gas from a tank with a capacity of 35MPa. By adopting a hybrid system mounting a secondary rechargeable battery and metal separators in the fuel cells, it has been possible to achieve a compact lightweight design. The adoption of Yamaha’s super-thin YIPU (Yamaha Integrated Power Unit) also improves environmental performance and increases ease of use as a commuter bike.
