NTT-ME is pivoting its business focus toward the circular economy, leveraging reused electric vehicles (EVs) to support companies and local governments in their efforts to achieve carbon neutrality and strengthen business continuity planning (BCP).
This initiative is being realized through a collaboration involving EVolity (a Marubeni subsidiary)—utilizing its vehicle management system—and Dream Incubator.
The company plans to launch an EV solution this summer that offers cost-effective and reliable adoption by visualizing and guaranteeing the battery health of reused EVs.
Beyond supporting environmentally conscious initiatives that make economic sense for companies and local governments, the solution contributes to regional resilience by enabling the vehicles to serve as mobile emergency power sources during disasters.
By utilizing EVolity’s service—which incorporates Panasonic’s battery analysis technology—NTT-ME will precisely visualize battery conditions and guarantee the quality of the reused EVs.
Real-time visualization of data such as State of Health (SOH) and location information will help optimize operations for companies and local governments. Specifically, location data will be used to facilitate wide-area support during disasters, taking into account the operational status of the vehicles.
NTT-ME is also considering a system that allows users to share mobile emergency power resources with one another. The goal is to create a new resilience network that extends beyond the boundaries of individual companies or local government jurisdictions, thereby strengthening regional disaster preparedness.
