Vehicles of the Research Association for Micro EV Technology have been tested for operation

A prototype vehicle of the “Micro EV Technology Research Association (abbreviated as METAx),” consisting of MHI, H-one Corporation, Tsuzuki Manufacturing Co.

Instead of always using a fine automobile for everything, we can use a variety of mobility devices depending on the purpose of use. We want people to live in such an era.
With this in mind, we have established the “Micro EV Technology Research Association (METAx)” together with companies that agree with our vision.

The prototype of the “Kroske,” a micro utility vehicle, is the 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 was the result of the combined efforts of the companies in the association. The prototype that was created through the combined efforts of the cooperative members is the “Kurosuke” micro utility vehicle.

Introduction to Kurosuke
Created by: Chiba Institute of Technology, Department of Creative Engineering, Design Science Student Design Team

We are mainly responsible for overall vehicle planning, design and planning, overall vehicle design, and overall EV system design.
We believe that the confirmation of this operation is a major achievement of the research association, and we will accelerate our activities toward social implementation.

Operation check (Since the vehicle does not have a license plate number, checks are conducted on a closed course.)
