Fox News
Toyota and Yamaha are working on a hydrogen-fueled V8 engine that could take the place of electric motors in future vehicles.
"We are working toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050," Yamaha Motor president Yoshihiro Hidaka said. "At the same time, ‘Motor’ is in our company name and we accordingly have a strong passion for and level of commitment to the internal combustion engine."
The brands, along with Kawaskia, Subaru and Mazda last year announced an initiative to find carbon-neutral alternatives to electrification for the automotive sector. Burning hydrogen primarily produces water vapor along with a small amount of nitrogen oxides, but no carbon dioxide.
