Japan debuts Electric Outboards that capture Microplastics

Japanese engine makers are pushing hard into eco-marine propulsion - and their newest developments in outboard motor technology are not just cutting emissions, but helping clean the seas. A new report from Web Japan states that Japanese manufacturers are using electricity and advanced filters to create sustainable outboard motors. These motors aim to meet climate and environmental goals. This cutting-edge innovation is pushing boats forward. It will also greatly impact Japan's tech industry, shipping infrastructure, and global marine-technology exports. Electric Outboard Motors: Quiet, Clean, and Reliable One of the most striking developments comes from Japanese firms adapting electric motor technology developed for motorcycles to marine propulsion. Among others, Honda has been testing electric outboard prototypes on tour boats in Matsue Castle's moat, Shimane Prefecture. These trials are delivering real-world impact:…
