Expo 2025, Osaka-Kansai, Kawasaki
Kawasaki, which once described Corleo as a distant 2050 vision, has moved the hydrogen-powered, four-hooved robotic horse into production and plans to release the first model in just four years.

We first covered the mountain-climbing concept last April, when it was little more than rough CGI. Kawasaki’s Safe Adventure Team plans public rides at Expo 2030, with consumer sales by 2035.
Kawasaki announced a Corleo virtual simulator, set for release next year.
“Kawasaki will also develop a riding simulator that enables riding experience of the four-legged mobility vehicle,” the company stated. The team aims to complete the simulator by 2027 and roll out the full system to gaming and e-sports.
Kawasaki sees Corleo as a safe, mountain-ready vehicle blending motorcycle tech with robotics. It uses independent rear legs, rider-weight steering, and AI to handle rugged terrain.

Corleo is expected to use a 150cc hydrogen engine to generate electricity for its legs, with rear-mounted tanks for quiet, low-emission operation, plus a GPS display to map routes and help maintain balance.
While still years away, the revised timeline is far more ambitious than the original 2050 goal announced at Expo 2025 in Osaka, and the latest updates move Corleo from novelty to a project worth watching.
