The vehicle on display is a prototype micro utility vehicle “Kroske,” a realization of the concept of “a safe and easy-to-use minicar specialized for the transportation of people and cargo,” which had been in the works since before the association was established, and which was the result of the combined efforts of the companies in the association. The prototype micro-utility vehicle “Krosuke” is the realization of this concept.
This time, two partner companies, Tonox and valeoJAPAN, will exhibit this “Krosuke” at their booths.
The following information is in order of press release date.

Mr. Valeo (West Hall 3, W3401)
As a proposal for the integration of 48V systems in new mobility, Valeo will exhibit for the first time a Micro Utility Vehicle (MUV) developed by METAx (Micro EV Technology Research Association) and equipped with Valeo’s well-established full propulsion system “Valeo eAccess” and DC-DC converters The MUV will be exhibited for the first time. The MUV is an ultra-compact mobility vehicle, larger than a motorcycle and smaller than a mini-car, designed for small-scale delivery operations. Because it has four wheels, it is safer than a motorcycle, twice as small as a mini car, and more maneuverable, making it a new option in the era of easy-to-use EVs.
