In an effort to lessen environmental pollution, several businesses worldwide are developing electric cars as an alternative to gasoline and diesel. On the other hand, Suzuki is investigating a somewhat different route when it comes to using hydrogen as fuel in its two-wheelers. The well-known Japanese automaker has been working on a hydrogen version of the Bergman for a while. Suzuki’s hydrogen gas-powered scooter’s patent picture has just surfaced online.
Hydrogen version of Suzuki Bergman
The Suzuki Bergman Hydrogen’s design may be seen in leaked patent photos. It could have Bergman’s 400cc model as its basis. There were certain limitations on the wheelbase front in the prototype model’s design. They moved the hydrogen tank down below, close to the floorboard. However, the latest patent reveals that Suzuki will employ two smaller cylinders rather than one larger one.
One cylinder is situated diagonally close to the front apron, while the other is parallel to the tail portion, as shown in the patent illustration. As a consequence, the Suzuki Bergman 400’s appearance, measurements, and engine and transmission configuration may all be kept the same. Suzuki has altered the design in other ways as well. For instance, the first hydrogen tank is no longer in line with the front radiator.
Additionally, the scooter features a front deflector that directs heated air downward. In addition, Suzuki plans to modify the engine to run on hydrogen fuel. Fuel supply and hydrogen storage are highly difficult. It might take a while for Suzuki’s hydrogen scooter to hit the market.

FAQ
Which scooter runs on hydrogen?
As part of the company’s work with the HySE partnership to make hydrogen a viable power source for combustion engine bikes and scooters, Suzuki revealed its prototype for a hydrogen-fueled Burgman scooter last October.
What is the cost of hydrogen scooter?
The zero-emission TVS is priced between Rs 1.34 lakh and Rs 1.40 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and comes in two variants: basic and S. Since the e-scooter’s introduction, TVS has progressively grown the iQube’s retail network, making it accessible in more than 140 cities and around 310 touchpoints throughout India.
How does a hydrogen scooter work?
Utilizing fuel cells, the Hydrogen ES transforms hydrogen along with a few other components to produce electricity, which powers the electric motor.
How are hydrogen vehicles powered?
Compressed hydrogen gas powers fuel cell automobiles by feeding it into an onboard fuel cell stack, which converts the chemical energy of the fuel into electrical energy rather than burning the gas. The electric motors of the automobile are then driven by this electricity.
