Kawasaki has introduced Corleo, an innovative four-legged robotic vehicle powered by hydrogen, designed to offer a unique riding experience. Unveiled at the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, Corleo blends clean energy technology with futuristic mobility, drawing inspiration from both motorcycles and nature.
This fully rideable prototype operates on a 150cc hydrogen engine that powers each limb individually, enabling smooth movement across various terrains. The rider controls Corleo not with pedals or joysticks, but simply by shifting their body weight—lean forward and it walks, tilt sideways and it turns.
Key features include:
- Hydrogen propulsion: Eco-friendly energy source with water as the only emission.
- Natural locomotion: Four robotic legs with rubberized hooves for grip and agility.
- Heads-Up Display: Shows hydrogen fuel levels and balance status.
- Obstacle handling: Designed to navigate and jump over uneven surfaces.
- Sleek design: Motorcycle-inspired frame built from lightweight metals and carbon fiber.
Though still in the concept stage with no data on speed or range, Kawasaki envisions this futuristic ride becoming a reality by 2050. Corleo marks a bold step in the evolution of clean, intelligent mobility systems that seem straight out of science fiction.
