Yamato Mobility Launches Nissan Atlas F24 EV Conversion

Taito-ku, Tokyo- Yamato Mobility & Mfg. Co., Ltd. is a Japanese manufacturer specializing in industrial equipment, is pleased to announce that it has commenced mass production and order sales of the "Nissan Atlas (F24 model) based EV conversion" that it has been developing.

In recent years, the logistics industry has seen increasing demand for small electric vehicles (EVs) that can be driven with a regular driver's license, amidst growing driver shortages and the need for decarbonization. Against this market backdrop, we have been promoting the development of an EV version of the Nissan Atlas (F24 model), a widely used small truck.
Following the "Mitsubishi Fuso Canter-based EV conversion" launched in 2025, we have developed this model as our second offering. This model supports EV conversion of both gasoline and diesel vehicles, and also addresses the driver shortage that is a challenge in the delivery industry by offering an EV version of a model that can be driven with a regular driver's license (GVW less than 3.5t), which is in high demand.

We have completed a "1,000km driving verification test" that includes urban driving simulating "last-mile delivery," as well as long-distance, highway, and night driving, confirming high reliability and practicality that is suited to Japan's road environment and climate, as well as the practical performance and operational stability necessary for last-mile delivery.

For the mass production of this product, we have established a mass production system that ensures production quality and safety in cooperation with Auto Works Kyoto Co., Ltd., our manufacturing partner for EV conversion vehicles, and will deliver the products to customers sequentially while guaranteeing a high level of safety.

"EV conversion," which electrifies and reuses existing vehicle bodies without discarding them, is an approach that embodies a "circular economy" that minimizes CO2 emissions and resource consumption associated with the manufacture and disposal of vehicles and makes effective use of resources. By enabling a speedy and rational EV shift while making use of existing vehicle assets, we will simultaneously achieve environmental compliance and solve cost challenges.

Through this model, we will strongly support businesses in the last-mile area in solving their challenges and shifting to EVs, including electrifying vehicles that can be driven with a regular driver's license, and we will continue to work on providing EV conversion solutions as a circular business with the aim of realizing a sustainable society.
