Nissan has been active in various projects to improve mobility and energy systems, which include providing mobility services in Namie Town, Fukushima Prefecture, conducting autonomous driving tests in Yokohama, and developing energy management systems that integrate EV battery storage with renewable energy sources.
Meanwhile, Mitsubishi Corporation is working on similar initiatives that utilize regional energy resources, aim for carbon neutrality, and strive to solve local issues through innovative mobility solutions, like AI-driven on-demand transportation and autonomous driving tests.
Both companies recognize the need to develop new technologies and service models to address specific regional challenges. The announced collaborative effort will mainly concentrate on creating sustainable business models that leverage EVs for next-generation mobility services and energy-related services, initially in Japan.
