                    EV Japan's hydroelectric power generation system

                    EV Japan (Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture) will start selling small hydraulic power generation equipment that reuses automobile generators and batteries in September. Starting with the completion at the end of August of a demonstration unit consisting of a water wheel and a generator in Gojo City, Nara Prefecture, the company will begin to propose the unit to local governments and power companies as an independent and emergency power source in mountainous areas. The company manufactures and sells electric vehicles (EVs) based on engine cars, golf carts, etc., electric tractors, and EV buses developed in-house. The company intends to spread inexpensive hydroelectric power generation facilities in mountainous areas, etc., which will lead to the introduction of its own electric vehicles. In response to this trend, EV Japan aims to develop new markets such as sales and maintenance of special EVs and power generation equipment.

The effect of the introduction of seven types of robots, which were selected from the public, will be verified at the 5th Takeshiba Summer Festival, an event held by Tokyu Land Corporation and Kajima Corporation as part of the area management of the Takeshiba district. As part of this effort, they provided the Takeshiba Natsufusu, which provides live music and dining space for local residents and workers in the neighborhood, as a place for the robot demonstration.
