Yamaha presented an interesting plug-in hybrid prototype based on its popular MT-09. The goal? Place Kawasaki hybrid motorcycles.
The car plug technology is a standard used in the four -wheeled industry. However, in the motorcycle sector is something that has not been implemented so much. Actually passed of combustion motorcycles to electric motorcycleswithout the producers stop too much in what would be the intermediate step, that of Hybrid motorcycles.
However, in Japan it seems that I understand that hybrid technology is an excellent resource that allows motorcycle users to continue to enjoy a combustion vehicle, but with the benefits of electric propulsion, either increasing their benefits, or improving and based on reducing consumption and pollution emissions.
In this race to make the motorcycles cleaner, Kawasaki seems to be one of the brands that have opted the most for this technology in recent years, especially after the presentation Kawasaki Z7 hybrids and ninja 7. Now, his rival Yamaha seems to prepare a heavy blow on the table that could change the rules of the game.
Yamaha MT-09 premiere a plug-in hybrid propulsion system
At this time is a prototype, but Yamaha mt-09 phev plug-in hybrid It is an interesting advance of a plow hybrid motorcycle, with a striking proposal, at least in the world of two wheels, because I said before, hybrid technology -is quite common in the car sector.
One of the reasons why, perhaps, this hybrid Dop technology has not finished attracting the attention of motorcycle producers can be their high cost. It is a more complex propulsion system, which uses a larger number of components that require space and add additional pounds to the motorcycle.
Despite this fact, in Yamaha I believe that this technical solution has a future and is therefore working on the development of the Plug-in MT-09 hybrid. The prototype seems, at first glance, a standard MT-09, but under its structure and road hides a hybrid technology that adds the possibility of a Circle multiple kilometers in zero emission mode.
To sign the finger painting, this technology is not only to reduce the emissions of pollutants on their motorcycles, but also to provide a motorcycle that is fun driving.
Will remain gasoline but will have autonomy in electric mode
This way we reach MT-09 PHEV, a prototype that uses knowledge Trichilindric motor from Yamaha (known as CP3) to which a electric propellers and a battery. The brand has not revealed many details or technical aspects of this new engine train beyond the batteries are located under the chair.
The power of the electric motor or the combined power of the propulsion system is not known. Neither the data on the energy capacity of his battery or the weight made public nor the approved consumption or the autonomy it reaches in the 100% electric mode has been revealed.
What we know is that the plug-in yamaha mt-09 hybrid has the ability to Circular using only gasoline engine, using only the electric motor or combining both propellers To extract all the potential of your driving train.
Being a plug hybrid vehicle, it has to resort to an energy outlet to recharge its battery, although the most logical thing is that the gasoline engine acts as a generator that sends electricity to the stack under the chair. It should be understood that once a light is connected, it should not take long to charge its batteries.
It is not yet known when it will come to production
In order to reach production, a vehicle of these features should weigh more than Yamaha MT-09 of the petrol, a motorcycle that throws a 193 pounds of march in march. It remains to be seen if the additional components, in addition to adding weight, changes the center of gravity of the MT-09, a motorcycle that is noted for its large balance and its behavior in the empty segment of one half cylindrical.
Similarly, more media suggests that Yamaha would combine this hybrid propulsion system -in with their new Automatic change and Samwho also debuted in Yamaha MT-09, by chance.
Yamaha are still immersed in the development phase and evidence of their prototype, although it has not been revealed when all this technology will reach production. Seeing that Kawasaki did not hesitate to launch his hybrid motorcycles, everything suggests that the company’s signature will not take long to get to the market with plow -in hybrid motorcycle.
