Tokyo [Japan], June 18 : DIAPASON serves as Yamaha's innovative platform for developing four highly versatile and user-friendly vehicles.
The company's core technological strengths motors, batteries, and control systems form the foundation of this initiative.
Among the showcased models, the C580 stands out for its exceptional performance in off-grid and rugged terrains powered entirely by electricity.
Its development was the result of close collaboration with various partners from the agricultural machinery and industrial production sectors, ensuring the vehicle meets the practical demands of these industries.
Jun Daito, Senior Strategy Lead of New Business Development, Yamaha Motor, said "Our first focus is the agricultural sector. From there, we plan to expand the vehicle's applications to airports, factories, and resort areas. Many industries are in need of compact EVs, and Yamaha is committed to fulfilling these demands".
This C580 is specially designed for agricultural use.
"This is the dozer to move many materials efficiently. Until now, in the cattle house, engine noise disturbed the cattle. It was stressful, but this EV is calm. It can carry 20 kilograms of product. There is a necessity to carry them easily. A trailer is too big to carry 20 kilograms of product. I caught this necessity and set the carrier part. This is the speaker. Some farmers want to work while enjoying music with this outside speaker. I responded to their request" he added.
Another vehicle, the C310, will undergo demonstration trials at Haneda Airport. The versatile "DIAPASON" platform is set to make a global impact across diverse sectors.
He further added "In the case of Asian isolated islands, gasoline cars were the main flow, but the EV trend is strengthening considering the environment. Despite its necessity in Asian countries, there are very few EV cars. The Indian market may need this car to solve traffic congestion. Big-sized cars are not suitable to solve it. In this opportunity, I would like to establish cooperation with foreign companies to ship the most appropriate EV car to each country".
The DIAPASON platform offers opportunities for collaboration with other companies. Yamaha Motor invites partners to join in creating and expanding new markets.
