A New Era of Mobility with TOCKLE's Weekly Plan

Initiated by BRJ Corporation, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, TOCKLE launched a new weekly plan for its next-generation mobility service on March 1. This initiative aims to address the increasing demand for more flexible transportation options among our users, particularly in rural areas where public transport options are limited.

Overview of the Weekly Plan

The weekly plan allows users to rent a vehicle for seven days (168 hours) as if it were their own. With the vehicle in your possession for an entire week, you have the freedom to use it for commuting, shopping, or leisure, returning it only when you're done. This shift from traditional hourly rentals to a model that mimics personal ownership enhances the feeling of security and convenience for users. If the battery runs low, users can effortlessly switch to another vehicle at one of our designated ports, eliminating any concerns about running out of power.

Key Features:

• - Rental Price: ¥1,980 (tax included)
• - Coverage Area: Tachikawa City, Tokyo; Nagareyama City, Chiba
• - Unlimited rides within the rental period: Users can enjoy as many rides as they wish within the 7-day rental.
• - Switch vehicles if battery runs low: A seamless change-over process exists for users when necessary.
• - Charges apply after 7-day limit: Additional fees will be charged according to specific area usage beyond the rental period.
• - No rentals allowed during non-operating hours.

The TOCKLE Concept

TOCKLE emphasizes comfort and freedom in mobility, aiming to transform transit times into valuable moments spent with family or friends. The service promotes sustainable transportation solutions in partnership with local governments, businesses, and community residents, fostering a vision for future “gentle town building.”

Practical Applications for Users

Users of TOCKLE have various practical applications for the service, including:

1. Commuting: Pick up a vehicle on the way home and return it the following morning after your commute!
2. Business use: Ideal for meeting with clients or grabbing lunch during breaks.
3. Leisure outings: Travel freely to destinations without ports, perfect for outings with friends.
4. Shopping: Useful for both daily errands and exploring new stores.

Available Mobility Options

TOCKLE offers both two-wheeled and three-wheeled next-generation mobility cars, designed to cater to various user needs and preferences. The vehicles are specifically tailored for comfort and safety.

The TOCKLE App

The TOCKLE app is available on both App Store for iPhone and Google Play for Android, ensuring easy access to the service anytime, anywhere.

Commitment to Safety

TOCKLE's dedication to safety has led to several features designed to protect both users and the community:

• - Focus on rural areas: Given the challenges faced by public transport in these regions, TOCKLE specifically targets providing reliable options in areas with limited transport offerings.
• - Geo-fencing for safety: This technology prevents vehicles from entering hazardous zones, promoting a safer experience for local residents.
• - No night operations: TOCKLE strictly prohibits nighttime operations to ensure user safety over profit.

Local Government Collaborations

TOCKLE's programs are currently operational in:

• - Tachikawa, Tokyo (since October 2021)
• - Nagareyama City, Chiba (since August 2022)
• - Fukuoka City, Fukuoka (set for July 2024)

Ongoing assessments are being aimed at expanding to other areas, including Yamanashi's Kofu City and various locales in Shiga and Ibaraki prefectures between 2025 and 2026.
