Yamaha and Toyota have had a history of collaborative efforts in the past, and it appears that the two Japanese industry-leaders are looking to maintain good ties with one another for the foreseeable future. A lot of car and bike aficionados would be familiar with the Lexus LFA, the gorgeous sports car with a sonorous V10 engine co-developed by Yamaha.
Well, in more recent news, Yamaha and Toyota will team up once more on a project focused on sustainability and performance—two factors that appear to be at odds with one another when it comes to the future of transportation. To that end, Toyota Motor Corporation has given Yamaha Motor a contract to create a 5.0-liter V8 engine for automobiles that runs solely on hydrogen. Toyota and other auto-related businesses in Japan are about to start working together to increase the variety of fuel options for internal combustion engines.
