Powered by Lexus’ first hydrogen engine, the ROV features exposed suspension, a protective cage and chunky off-road tyres that makes the vehicle a perfect, close to zero-emission solution for off-road driving.

The 1.0-litre hydrogen engine operates like a petrol internal combustion engine with hydrogen contained within a sturdy high-pressure tank which delivers the hydrogen into the combustion chamber through direct injection.

In doing so the vehicle still provides the roar of a standard internal combustion engine yet with much less carbon emissions.

A suspension cover, connected to the rear hydrogen fuel tank protects functional parts while also conveying a sense of durability inherited from Lexus’ SUV designs.

Spiros Fotinos, Head of Lexus Europe, said, “The Lexus ROV Concept is our response to the growing passion for the outdoors and adventurous spirit of luxury consumers. As a concept, it fuses our desire to also develop lifestyle-oriented products with our ongoing research into new technologies that contribute to carbon neutrality.

“As well as being a concept that is thrilling to drive, it has near-zero emissions thanks to its hydrogen-powered engine.”
