Suzuki Motor Corporation (Suzuki), DAIHATSU MOTOR CO., LTD. (Daihatsu), and Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) have decided to aim for the release of their mini-commercial van electric vehicles (BEVs) respectively in fiscal 2025.
This mini-commercial van BEV, jointly developed by the three companies, combines Suzuki and Daihatsu's expertise in creating small-size cars with Toyota's electrification technology and is equipped with a BEV system suitable for mini-commercial vehicles. Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies Corporation also participated in the planning to achieve a vehicle with optimal specifications for efficient last-mile logistics.
The three companies Suzuki, Daihatsu, and Toyota are committed to driving the initiative forward to achieve carbon neutrality. This will be done through the supply of mini-commercial van BEVs that can meet customers' needs in the delivery industry by providing practical and sustainable means of transportation.
"Achieving zero, and adding new value beyond it"

Additionally, Toyota is also looking "Beyond Zero" to create and provide greater value by continuing to diligently seek ways to improve lives and society for the future.
