rs such as the hydrogen tank, resulting in an overall length 65mm longer than that of the gasoline model. The engine design was based on the principle of reusing parts from gasoline-powered vehicles as much as possible. For this reason, hydrogen is injected through the intake port, and the control ECU is reused from the mass-produced Burgman. For missing specifications (such as the injector driver), a new auxiliary controller is designed to link...
