TOKYO: Yamaha Motor’s dedication to improving quality of life and environmental sustainability is having a big influence on the world stage.
Yamaha Motor’s electric engine is now a feature of sightseeing boats at Hokkaido’s Otaru Canal, providing both visitors and locals with a peaceful and comfortable experience.
This “HARMO” electric engine combines a sophisticated electric motor with a seamless control system.
“The boats are not very quiet in Taiwan,” remarked a Taiwanese visitor. However, I feel great on Yamaha’s boat because it is cozy and soft.
By utilizing both biodiesel and electric engines, Yamaha’s green endeavor complements the Otaru Canal’s dedication to preserving a clean environment.
Smooth turns made possible by the “HARMO” engine improve the sightseeing experience by providing unobstructed views of the canal’s historic structures.
“There is no noise at all when the boat is running, which boosts energy efficiency,” stated Tooru Kikuchi, an Otaru Canal boat operator. Because the “HARMO” technology is so dependable, the boat is simple to use in a variety of ways. The fact that the boat is moving at all frequently astounds passengers.
Prior to 2016, Yamaha Motor started investigating and creating electric boat systems as part of its “Transforming Mobility” aim.
Yamaha’s efforts to electrify transportation and lessen its impact on the environment include innovations in the land, air, and sea, such as electric vehicles, drones, mobility chairs, and maritime transportation.
According to Yamaha Motor spokesman Ren Onodera, “the HARMO engine is crucial for boat travel in the canals and lakes of Northern Europe and Asia, where quiet operation and modest speeds are necessary.” Electric propulsion makes it possible to sail slowly, which is crucial. We will keep pushing for the electrification of marine items and the creation of more environmentally friendly transportation options.
Beyond establishing a serene and hygienic environment on the canal, Yamaha Motor’s mission encompasses the land and the air, striving for environmentally sustainable innovation in all facets of mobility. (ANI)
