It's not exactly common
knowledge, but Yamaha does a ton of work in developing powertrains for other
vehicle manufacturers. This is in addition to making motorcycles and pianos and
a zillion other things. The Toyota 2000GT?
Yamaha cylinder head. Volvo V8 from the XC90? That was Yamaha, too. Ford Taurus SHO from the '90s? Absolutely. Yamaha strikes
again.
But, Yamaha isn't only
into developing super-rad internal combustion engines and components. It's got
its claws into the EV world as well, and according to an announcement made by
the company on Monday, it's doing a hell of a job there, too. Specifically, it
has come up with a compact, integrated electric propulsion unit that produces
upwards of 469 horsepower.
