Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.

[World’s First Public Demonstration Run of a Hydrogen Engine Motorcycle by a Mass-Production Motorcycle Manufacturer]   On July 20, Kawasaki Motors, a member of the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group, conducted the world's first public demonstration run of a hydrogen ICE (internal combustion engine) motorcycle (by a mass-production motorcycle manufacturer) at Suzuka Circuit in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, Japan.   The hydrogen ICE motorcycle was designed and built as part of research that began in March 2023, with test runs starting this year, culminating in this public demonstration run. Mounted in the machine is a hydrogen engine based on the 998 cm3 In-Line Four Supercharged Engine found in Kawasaki’s Ninja H2 motorcycle, with modifications made to allow direct injection of hydrogen fuel into the cylinders. The motorcycle’s chassis was designed to accommodate hydrogen fuel canisters and a hydrogen fuel supply system on-board.   This success marks a major step forward towards a hydrogen society!     For more information click the link below: https://lnkd.in/ggHzezqK #Kawasaki #Hydrogen

[Kawasaki announced its release of the “Unified-Edition” E-series steering gear, which realizes improvements via steering equipment optimization and labor savings.]   The Unified-Edition is a package-type product combining steering gear, a control box and other components that used to be installed separately onboard. Vessel maneuvering machinery, which controls the rudder and thus the course of the marine vessel, comprises various components including steering gear, control boxes, a rudder angle indicator and more. These components are normally made by different manufacturers and then integrated into a single system, which means shipbuilders and shipowners must coordinate with multiple manufacturers in regard to specifications, maintenance operations and the like each time the need arises. Kawasaki’s system, in contrast, has been optimized based on the company’s experience and knowledge in the field, which reduces the burden on shipbuilders and shipowners.   For more information, please visit our website below. https://lnkd.in/edePSrSn   ＃Kawasaki　＃E-series steering gear

［Kawasaki Releases a Tension Monitoring System for Mooring Line for Its Safe Berthing/Unberthing Assist System］   Kawasaki announced its release of a Tension Monitoring System for Mooring Line designed to improve safety and work efficiency in ship mooring tasks and related management operations for ships docked at wharfs and similar locations.   This system enables remote monitoring of mooring line tension in locations away from actual mooring equipment, and it also integrates a sensor in the braking mechanism of the mooring equipment, enabling brake holding force to be converted into numerical data. In addition, the system employs a proprietary Kawasaki algorithm to estimate tensile force between the bitts and bollards on a wharf, representing the first-ever example worldwide of this type of data display (according to Kawasaki’s survey conducted in February 2024). Furthermore, the system can output numerical data and graphs in real time for winch brake holding forces in safe places onboard such as the bridge (control room) and cargo control monitoring room, and for mooring line tensile forces. This enables more accurate mooring management, labor savings, and improved safety for the crew.   For more information, please visit our website below. https://lnkd.in/eKmcszX4   #Kawasaki #monitoringsystem #mooringline

[Kawasaki Builds Japan’s First 30% Hydrogen Mixed-fuel Large Gas Engine Verification Testing Facility]   Kawasaki has announced its commencement of modification and installation work for Japan’s first full-scale verification testing facility for a large, 8 MW class gas engine that will use 30% hydrogen mixed-fuel combustion for power generation operations.   The project will use a 7.5 MW output gas engine at Kawasaki’s Kobe Works currently utilized in power generation operations using city gas as fuel. This engine will be modified to achieve compatibility with mixed-fuel combustion using hydrogen. Facility preparations are scheduled for completion in May 2024, with mixed-fuel combustion operations slated to start in October of the same year.   For more information click the link below: https://lnkd.in/gKGgZDqU   #Kawasaki #Hydrogen

 [Mass Production of Off-Road Four-Wheelers Begins at Mexico Plant ]   Kawasaki Motors Ltd. has begun mass production of off-road four-wheelers at its Mexican subsidiary, Kawasaki Motores de México S.A. de C.V. (KMX). KMX has started with producing utility vehicles first, and plans to gradually expand the range of models produced there in the future. Located in Salinas Victoria in Nuevo León, Mexico, KMX will be one of Kawasaki’s main plants, with an annual production capacity of up to 30,000 off-road four-wheelers. In response to increasing demand arising from the expansion of the off-road vehicle market primarily in North America, Kawasaki has been making capital investments in our U.S. subsidiary, Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing Corp., U.S.A., and KMX since 2021. Now, with the start of operations at KMX's off-road wheeler plant, production capacity receives a significant increase to reach as many as 100,000 units per year.   For more information click the link below: https://lnkd.in/gx-Jy2US　 #Kawasaki #off-road
