Kawasaki's green future: electric motorcycles in 2035

Kawasaki wants to be on top of technology and does not hesitate to work. After announcing a few days ago that they will expand their range in North America, the manufacturer has so far announced many new features until 2025, confirming the many plans they have made at this time. They have already revealed what their hybrid Ninja will look like as we tell you here.

The big announcement is that the "green brand" will be greener than ever in 2035, as its CEO has said that it would like its flagship models in Japan and Western markets to be electric by 2035, something that includes Europe. States, Canada and Australia.

Examples on display at the event include two electric wheels, a hybrid motorcycle that combines gasoline and electric power, and an early sketch of a hydrogen-based Ninja H2 engine. What they haven't specified yet is the date they plan to completely phase out the gasoline models.

Although everything that involves reducing pollution and taking care of the planet is positive, we find it hard to imagine one of the "hottest" brands, with models like the Ninja H2 or the multi-award winning ZX-R10 in Superbikes, becoming an electric motorcycle.

In addition to this long-term plan, his other idea is to release ten electric or hybrid motorcycles by 2025, in addition to new fuel-free offroad motorcycles. But the manufacturer will not be limited to production, but also to the development of additional technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, the integration of radar technology and customer-oriented interfaces. To achieve all this in the shortest possible time, the brand will invest more and accelerate the use of "digital twin simulation" technology.

But this is not all, as part of Kawasaki's change involves changing its visual identity and adopting the River Mark logo, a symbol synonymous with Kawasaki and its products in the 1870s; Along with promoting the phrase "Let the Good Times Roll". What do you think of his new image?
