YOUON JAPAN Co., Ltd. has loaned three hydrogen-assisted bicycles free of charge to Togitsu Town in Nagasaki Prefecture, holding a test ride event on April 27, 2026. This marks the first adoption of such bicycles by a municipality in the Kyushu region. Previously utilized at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, these eco-friendly bicycles generate electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, emitting only water. With a range of 50km per hydrogen cartridge, Togitsu Town plans to utilize them for official duties, environmental education, and emergency mobility during disasters. This initiative is a step towards realizing YOUON JAPAN's comprehensive 'hydrogen life ecosystem'.
