Kawasaki brought one of the most striking concepts at EICMA 2026: CORLEO, a quadruped robotic vehicle designed to carry a rider on four articulated legs. ABC Mundial visited the company’s stand in Milan and spoke with Fabio Galimberti from the Technical Department of Kawasaki Motors Europe’s Italian branch.

CORLEO uses a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity. Its operating concept is based on interaction between the rider and the vehicle: body movements and weight shifts are interpreted by sensors and an inertial measurement unit to control its movement.

The concept also envisages navigation systems capable of assessing environmental conditions, including weather, temperature and terrain. The aim is to explore mobility across surfaces where conventional motorcycles would face limitations.

Kawasaki displayed a life-size model in Milan, but CORLEO remains a concept project. The company has not yet announced final commercial specifications such as price, range or top speed. Its development horizon points towards 2035.
