PBV Use Case - All Set For Inspiration

Pop-up Store

Do you need your own portable store?

With wide space and low ground clearance that allows you to stand up while working, you can freely configure the store you want. You can also use electric power by taking advantage of V2L (Vehicle to Load), the strength of EVs.

Cargo Delivery

Do you want to deliver cargo efficiently and safely?

The low ground clearance reduces the impact on the body when loading and unloading, while specialized software solutions suggest the optimal driving route.

WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle)

Have you had any difficulties using existing means of transportation?

We plan to equip our PBVs with specialized specifications, as well as develop a specialized taxi model, for convenient use by the transportation vulnerable.

Ride-hailing

Do you need a vehicle to get somewhere in a hurry? Do you want to travel comfortably without the stress of driving?

A spacious interior that can accommodate both passengers and cargo and a variety of driving conveniences provide the best driving experience for both drivers and passengers.
