Toyota and Yamaha Are Working on a Hydrogen-Powered V8 Engine
While many automakers have embraced the move to electric mobility, some are showing at least some reluctance. And for many of those, the belief is that the key to replacing the current generation of traditional gasoline engine will require more than one type of alternative.
Toyota, as mentioned, is not new to the hydrogen concept. But there’s an interesting particularity to this new joint project. Instead of hydrogen being used to generate electricity to power the car, as is the case with Toyota’s Mirai model, it is simply used instead of gasoline, leaving water vapors as the only emissions.
Interestingly, this hydrogen engine project follows a joint agreement between Toyota, Yamaha, Subaru, Mazda and Kawasaki, by which the companies agree to work at expanding the use of alternative fuel technologies. The partners plan to experiment with biodiesel and synthetic fuels in addition to hydrogen.

The relationship between the two companies goes back even further, Yamaha having developed the 4.8L V10 engine used in the LFA supercar.
