As a result of the industrial revolution, the horse had gone off as a means of transport, but if it is up to Kawasaki that time returns. Team Green has developed an electric horse as the Future Vision Mobility 20250: the Kawasaki Corleo.

The Corleo was unveiled earlier this month at the Osaka Kansai Expo in Japan and although it is now mainly a CGI concept, they had exhibited a physical model on the stand. It may look like a vehicle from a futuristic film or game art from Metroid, but it is really a KHI project.
According to the Greens, Kawasaki’s revolutionary off-road vehicle offers excellent All-Terrain capacities, powered by four robot legs, together with the driving behavior and the stability of Kawasaki’s motorcycles.
While the pleasure of driving is maintained, the vehicle constantly checks the movements of the rider to achieve a reassuring sense of unity between people and machine. “Climb Bergen, breathe in the fresh air and enjoy panoramic views. Let Corleo let go of your” impulse to move “in the wild,” said Kawasaki.
Sounds attractive, but what exactly is it? Corleo is driven for a 150cc hydrogen engine, which generates the electricity for the four legs of the vehicle. In addition to the hinge points for the legs, Corleo also hinges around the central part, with which the mechanical movement of a horse can really be simulated.
You can also control Corleo as a real animal, with body movements that change the direction of the vehicle, just like you can control a horse with your knees when you drive without a saddle. KHI says that the vehicle was made to drive on with two, the steering is largely arranged by AI and the input of the rider.
Corleo is equipped with an instruments that indicate the hydrogen level, as well as navigation that displays the route to the top, reflects the position of the center of gravity and other information. In the dark, driving is optimally supported by projecting markings on the floor to indicate the path for you.
