Japanese industrial conglomerate Panasonic and Japanese trading and investment company Marubeni have agreed to establish a joint venture (JV) to provide integrated support to large fleet operators in Japan for the introduction and operation of commercial EVs.
Support will involve identifying and offering solutions to such issues as charging infrastructure, charging operations, monitoring of onboard batteries and vehicle maintenance systems.
The JV also aims to establish a circular economy model that envisions secondary use of EV batteries.
