1. Details of the joint tests
Using telematics devices, including driving recorders installed in JA's gasoline-powered vehicles, JA Mitsui Leasing and Fujitsu will collect data including location and driving history information. This data will be used in conjunction with features planned for a Fujitsu-developed service (1) that supports EV deployment and operation, and Fujitsu's Social Digital Twin technology (2) to conduct operational simulations, including charging schedules and EV business operations, based on real-world usage data. Through these trials, the two companies aim to alleviate operational management concerns, including vehicle costs and charging infrastructure development, that customers considering EV adoption often face. By facilitating EV deployment, this initiative contributes to reducing CO2 emissions and making sustainable mobility a reality. Furthermore, leveraging this collaboration, JA Mitsui Leasing and Fujitsu will work with local governments and transport operators in Japan to establish decarbonized social model regions.
Content:
Comparative verification of economic efficiency, including the leasing costs of gasoline and electric vehicles, as well as fuel and electricity costs.
CO2 emissions between gasoline and electric vehicles based on CO2 emissions per liter of gasoline and per kWh of electricity.
Verification of operational feasibility through simulations that take into account the number of vehicles, the charging infrastructure, including basic charging (3) and en-route charging (4), and the number of chargers.
2. Functions and responsibilities
JA Mitsui Leasing: General management and coordination of testing, selection of participating JA Group members, and development of new solutions.
Fujitsu: Providing services for EV simulation functions and data analysis.
3. Period
From October 15, 2024 to the end of March 2025 (planned)
Future plans
Through this field trial, JA Mitsui Leasing aims to support the promotion of EV adoption within the JA Group and surrounding communities, contributing to the achievement of carbon neutrality.
Within the framework of Fujitsu Uvance, which aims to achieve a sustainable world, Fujitsu promotes the Trusted Society initiative to protect human life while simultaneously safeguarding the regional environment and fostering a prosperous and sustainable local community. Looking ahead, Fujitsu plans to integrate its electric vehicle deployment and operation support service with its "Fujitsu Kozuchi" AI solution to provide optimal charging schedule planning and battery management based on data analysis. In this way, Fujitsu intends to address the operational challenges related to electric vehicles faced by various corporate clients and accelerate their progress toward carbon neutrality.
