Daizo Corporation (Head Office: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Representative Director: Nobuyuki Minami), which has its roots in a shipbuilding company, has announced that its next-generation EV mobility brand 'e-NEO (E-NEO) NEO-ONE', developed and sold by the company, has entered into a business partnership with Maekawa Corporation and Upty Corporation. This partnership aims to further strengthen the maintenance and repair system that supports peace of mind after purchase for the electric mobility brand 'e-NEO (E-NEO)'. Through this partnership, e-NEO has established a 'nationwide after-sales support system.' With both in-store maintenance and mobile repair services, flexible maintenance対応 is now possible according to the user's usage environment.

About After-Sales Support

Background: Resolving 'Post-Purchase Anxiety' in the Spread of EV Mobility

While the electric mobility market has been expanding in recent years, 'post-purchase maintenance systems' and 'availability of support in case of breakdown' have been major barriers to adoption for users.

Especially for small EVs and next-generation mobility, which are new categories: ・Where can maintenance be performed? ・Is support available in rural areas? ・Will support be provided promptly in case of trouble? Such 'anxiety about after-sales support' has become a bottleneck for widespread adoption.

Daizo views this issue as a 'value as important as product performance' and has been working to build a nationwide support system.

Establishment of a Hybrid System of In-Store and Mobile Maintenance

Through this business partnership, e-NEO has established the following two after-sales support networks:

1 In-Store Maintenance Network (Maekawa Corporation)

In collaboration with Maekawa Corporation, which has maintenance bases nationwide, inspections, repairs, and maintenance will be available at partner maintenance facilities in each region.

This allows users to receive maintenance with peace of mind at facilities near their homes, greatly improving the convenience of daily maintenance.

2 Mobile Maintenance Network (Upty Corporation)

In partnership with Upty Corporation, mobile maintenance services will be provided utilizing a network of approximately 5,000 'mobile mechanics' nationwide.

This enables flexible support regardless of location, such as: ・Maintenance at home or in parking lots ・Trouble response in remote areas ・Support for users who have difficulty traveling This reduces the 'burden of traveling for maintenance.'

'A Driving Design Product' Born from Shipbuilding Technology

e-NEO is a three-seater electric mobility developed by Daizo Corporation, which has its roots in shipbuilding design philosophy and metal processing technology. The 'safety structure,' 'durability,' and 'precise design philosophy' cultivated at sea have been directly applied to land, realizing a body structure that is both strong and lightweight. It achieves both high rigidity and stable driving performance, attracting attention as a 'driving design product' that makes urban travel smarter and more stylish. NEO-ONE adopts a three-wheel structure but can be driven with a regular driver's license. It is suitable for a wide range of scenes, from daily shopping to city driving and business use.

It presents a 'new form of mobility' that extends everyday life, such as commuting, shopping, cafe time, and pick-ups. It is positioned as a 'just-right next-generation mobility' that is neither a car nor a motorcycle, balancing urban mobility and design.

Its compact body moves lightly through congested cities, proposing a new value of 'choosing environmentally friendly and personalized mobility' through its quiet and smart movement.
