We received a piece of information that there is a hint that in EICMA 2020 Kawasaki is going to come with midsize Super Charger or an electric bike. We also came to know that the development of the middle-class SC was almost finished or stopped.
While there is information that there will be an announcement at EICMA, there is also information that the source has been moved to the electric system.
There was information that the development of the engine had a prospect for commercialization, but there was no news after that as Kawasaki has filed below patent.
Since there is no talk about commercial vehicles, it is unknown how far it has been developed. ”
Just to take you little back while talking to News Webike Mr. Kenji Tomita, President of Motorcycle & Engine Company said in 2015
“Kawasaki is ready to make at least 12 new models appear in 2017 and 2018. At the Tokyo Motor Show, we exhibited a supercharger engine and showed its concept, but here at EICMA we have a vision that it is just the beginning. I want to express “
And presented an image sketch of SC-02 “Soul Charger”. The SC-01 “Spirit Charger” released in Tokyo was fitted with a cowl, but the SC-02 is a naked type.
There was also a statement that it was a downsizing charger, and we felt the attitude of developing the supercharger marketed on H2 into many models aimed at energy saving.
We are keeping close eye on the happenings and we sure expect that Kawasaki has some big plans for coming EICMA.
