Hyundai and eMotion Fleet Join Forces for EV Integration in Japan

On October 31, 2025, Hyundai Mobility Japan, based in Yokohama, Kanagawa, announced a strategic partnership with eMotion Fleet, a company headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, specializing in commercial EV fleet solutions. This collaboration seeks to enhance the deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) for both passenger and commercial use, addressing critical challenges faced by businesses in Japan.

Comprehensive Support for EV Adoption in Japan

With a growing emphasis on creating a decarbonized society, the electrification of commercial vehicles has emerged as a pressing priority. Hyundai aims to serve as a “Mobility Solutions Provider,” delivering clean mobility as part of its mission. The company plans to introduce the medium-sized electric bus, ELEC CITY TOWN, into the Japanese market by 2024, significantly contributing to solutions in the transportation sector. However, many businesses and municipalities still face significant hurdles related to charging infrastructure, operational management, and implementation costs. Recognizing these challenges, Hyundai has allied with eMotion Fleet—an expert in EV fleet solutions—to offer a one-stop approach that goes beyond vehicle provision. Together, they will facilitate an ecosystem that enables clients to confidently operate EVs, thereby accelerating EV adoption across Japan.

Total Support for EV Implementation

The newly established partnership enables Hyundai’s customers to access a comprehensive suite of solutions tailored for corporate EV usage, including the following:

1. EV Introduction Support

Customers will benefit from robust support for EV implementation, including site-specific EV simulation, optimal charging infrastructure design, and total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis.

2. Fleet Operations Management and Energy Management

By utilizing eMotion Fleet's EV operation and energy management system (FMS/EMS), clients can monitor and manage operations, charging status, and energy consumption in one centralized platform. This streamlines operations and facilitates cost-cutting strategies.

3. Vehicle Provisioning

Hyundai offers tailored vehicles from its EV lineup to meet distinct customer needs. Options include:

• - Passenger: IONIQ Series
• - Commercial: ELEC CITY TOWN (electric bus), next-generation EV vans.

Additionally, clients can subscribe to a monthly flat-rate service that combines EVs with chargers and FMS/EMS, thereby reducing initial investment burdens.

4. Charging Infrastructure (Standard and Fast Chargers)

To meet the needs of business clients, Hyundai will also provide standard and fast chargers that integrate seamlessly with eMotion Fleet's FMS/EMS, ensuring a cohesive ecosystem of vehicles, chargers, and systems that bolster stable operations and efficient management.

5. After-Sales Support

Hyundai will develop a comprehensive support framework that includes collaboration with a national network of service centers, assisting clients with setup and maintenance training, along with comprehensive technical support to ensure the efficient operation of initial investments.

This partnership represents a progressive move to establish a new business model aimed at addressing the complex challenges of EV adoption faced by Japanese enterprises through a single-source solution.
