Suzuki has been working hard on the hydrogen fuel cell Crosscage motorcycle.  Intelligent Energy, Suzuki’s partner in this venture, was at the EVS24 in Norway showing off the fuel cell technology.  Intelligent Energy plans to build their own motorcycle, the ENV (pictured below) with the fuel cells.

The latest fuel cells from the companies are producing 1.8kW, which is 0.8kW more (or almost double) what the old ones were capable of.  This means that the fuel cells are capable of recharging the small battery packs on the motorcycles well enough to keep up with demand during use.

When we first saw the Crosscage, back in February, it was just a prototype without any release date specified.

Now, Suzuki and Intelligent Energy are working to get a hydrogen tank approved for use on a motorcycle along with other tests to gain approval in the EU and Japan for sales.  They are also working towards an agreement with the British Olympic organizers for the 2012 Games in London.

Both the ENV and the Crosscage will have a range of about 160 miles and a price tag of around 8,000 Euros.
