Think back, if you will, to April. That's when Kawasaki first showed off an audacious new concept vehicle it's apparently been working on for some time now. Neither a bird nor a plane, nor really anything that's ever been seen before: It's Corleo, the mountain mobility robot horse!
You could be forgiven for thinking that we wouldn't likely hear more about this guy anytime soon. Even for concepts that OEMs choose to advance through multiple iterations and/or generations (think of Yamaha's Motoroid series, for example), it's usually at least a year and sometimes more between public announcements of any developments that have been made.
Not so with the Kawasaki Corleo, though. It's December as I write this, and Team Green says it's set not just one, but two deadlines to get Corleo up and running through the mountains in the next decade.
