Tokyo (Japan), Oct 29 (ANI): Yamaha Motor’s global commitment to environmental sustainability and enhancing quality of life is making a significant impact worldwide. At the Otaru Canal in Hokkaido, sightseeing boats now feature Yamaha Motor’s electric engine, delivering a quiet, comfortable experience for both passengers and local residents. This electric engine, called “HARMO,” combines an advanced electric motor with a smooth control system. Yamaha’s green initiative aligns with the Otaru Canal’s commitment to maintaining a clean environment by using both biodiesel and electric engines. The "HARMO" engine enables smooth turns, enhancing the sightseeing experience by offering clear views of the historic buildings along the canal. Yamaha Motor began researching and developing electric boat systems before 2016, driven by its mission of “Transforming Mobility.” Yamaha’s innovation spans land, sky, and water—from drones and electric vehicles to mobility chairs and marine transportation—all part of its efforts to electrify transportation and reduce environmental impact. Yamaha Motor’s vision extends beyond creating a calm and clean environment on the canal — it is also targeting the skies and land, aiming for eco-friendly innovation across all forms of mobility.
