Blaze Inc. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture; President: Hideyuki Ichikawa; hereinafter 'Blaze'), together with CARRO JAPAN Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Satoshi Asaeda; hereinafter 'CARRO JAPAN'), a joint venture between SoftBank Corp. and Trusty Cars Pte. Ltd. (CARRO), has launched the 'Connected EV Bike' service starting Wednesday, April 1, 2026. This service equips Blaze's 3-wheel roofed electric delivery bike 'EV Delivery' with an add-on connected solution developed and operated by CARRO JAPAN.
Through this initiative, Blaze's 'EV Delivery' is provided as a 'Connected EV Bike' that can visualize and manage vehicle operation status and location information in real time, contributing to improved efficiency and cost optimization of vehicle management in daily delivery operations.
■ Background
In the logistics and food delivery industries, there is a rapidly growing need to introduce EV bikes, driven by labor shortages in the last-mile sector, the need to improve delivery efficiency, and moves toward realizing a decarbonized society.
On the other hand, the following challenges existed in actual operational settings:
- A lack of mechanisms to centrally manage the operation status and location information of EV bikes.
- Different management systems are required for each manufacturer, complicating operations.
- Fleet management systems for cars do not adequately support motorcycle management.
- Expensive dedicated systems are required, making it difficult to adopt them for a small number of vehicles.
Particularly for companies introducing multiple EV bikes, management tasks such as daily vehicle management and grasping operational status have become a major burden. In response to these challenges, to improve the convenience of management tasks, we are providing a service for EV bikes that supports on-site operations by making CARRO JAPAN's vehicle management system, which can handle vehicle data, available for 'EV Delivery'.
What is CARRO JAPAN's add-on connected solution?
It is a service that allows you to obtain vehicle information in real time simply by connecting a device to the vehicle body. The dedicated vehicle management system can be checked from a PC or smartphone.
In the case of cars, it can be used simply by plugging it into the cigar socket.
■ Overview of the Adopted Service
In this 'Connected EV Bike' service, the add-on connected solution developed and operated by CARRO JAPAN is installed inside the 'EV Delivery' to visualize the history of driving behaviors such as speeding and sudden braking, driving performance per driver or vehicle, and mileage. In addition, it supports the automatic creation of daily driving reports and the optimization of sales/delivery routes, realizing the efficiency of daily vehicle management and operational tasks. Furthermore, even for companies that own and operate cars in addition to motorcycles, it becomes possible to centrally manage cars and EV bikes on the same platform, contributing to the efficiency of vehicle management and the reduction of operational load.
■ Main Features and Effects of Service Introduction
By introducing this service, companies can expect the following effects:
- Real-time understanding of vehicle operation status and location information.
- Improved operational efficiency through centralized management of cars and EV bikes.
- Reduction of on-site burden by simplifying vehicle management.
The 'EV Delivery' provides a new option as a 3-wheel electric bike equipped with added value in terms of operation through connected functions, in addition to the practicality of the vehicle itself.
■ Future Developments
Through this service, Blaze will continue to support the reduction of workload and the improvement of operational efficiency at delivery sites. Moving forward, we will further strengthen our collaboration with CARRO JAPAN, and by advancing operational improvements and expanding service functions through data utilization, we will contribute to promoting electrification in the last-mile sector and realizing a sustainable mobility society.
■ Comment
Comment from Hideyuki Ichikawa, President of Blaze Inc.
'Against the backdrop of the end of domestic production of 50cc mopeds and soaring crude oil prices in recent years, many operators are considering new means of transportation. The major feature of 'EV Delivery' is that running costs can be reduced to about 1/6 compared to gasoline bikes. Because it can significantly reduce fuel and maintenance costs, it is highly rated not only in the logistics and delivery fields but also in medical and welfare settings such as home nursing and caregiving. This time, by collaborating with CARRO JAPAN...'
