Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Yamaha have just collectively promised to develop a slew of hydrogen-reliant engines designed to power small vehicles. It’s largely counter to what the rest of the world is doing and begs the question of why Japan seems so intent on making hydrogen power work. But it hasn’t been steady progress.
