BLAZE Inc. (Head Office: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Representative Director: Hideyuki Ichikawa) will exhibit at the "Self-Service SS Open 1st Anniversary Festival" to be held for three days from July 10, 2026 (Fri) to July 12, 2026 (Sun) at "Thanks Mobility Shinshiro SS" service station in Shinshiro City, Aichi Prefecture.

During the event, for two days only on July 11 (Sat) and July 12 (Sun), a display and test drive event for the four-wheeled electric vehicle 'BLAZE e-CARGO', which can be ridden by individuals aged 16 and over without a license, will be held.

The 'Blaze e-CARGO' is a next-generation mobility vehicle that is active in a wide range of scenes, from short-distance daily travel such as shopping and hospital visits, to in-facility movement and business use. At this test drive event, you can experience its operability, stability, and convenience by actually seeing, touching, and riding it.

In addition, the venue will feature a grand prize lottery, meal ticket giveaways, a candy grab for children, gasoline discount benefits, EV mobility display and sales, and automobile sales. It is an event that the whole family can enjoy.

What is the "Blaze e-CARGO", a four-wheeled electric vehicle that can be ridden without a license?

The 'Blaze e-CARGO' is a four-wheeled electric mobility vehicle that falls under the category of "Specified Small Motorized Bicycles (Tokutei Kogata Gen-doki Jidousha)", which can be ridden on public roads by individuals aged 16 and over without a license.

The vehicle, with a total length of 1,900mm, boasts the largest size in the Specified Small Motorized Bicycle category.

This spacious vehicle design enhances driving stability, reduces vibrations and shocks transmitted from the road surface, and provides a comfortable ride.

Furthermore, it features a large cargo bed measuring 788mm x 504mm, utilizing the vehicle's length. It offers enough space for two shopping baskets and can carry up to 30kg.

With its practicality, combining the stability of a four-wheeled vehicle with high cargo capacity, it is attracting attention as a "mini kei truck."

Additionally, it can be easily charged using a standard household 100V outlet, eliminating the need for gasoline refueling and reducing maintenance costs.

Its high practicality has garnered positive reactions across the country, and it is a highly anticipated model with many requests for test drives.

Cargo bed size: Length 788mm x Width 504mm Battery can be detached and charged directly.

The Potential of New Mobility to Support Local Life and Work

In many rural areas, including Shinshiro City, Aichi Prefecture, where this event is being held, securing means of transportation is essential for various aspects of daily life.

In recent years, with the advancement of an aging population, securing transportation after returning a driver's license has become an issue. Meanwhile, in agriculture, tourism, and local service industries, the demand for easy-to-use and practical means of transportation is increasing.

The 'Blaze e-CARGO' is expected to be a new mobility solution that addresses these regional challenges. It can be used not only for daily errands like shopping and hospital visits but also for transporting fertilizer and agricultural materials, carrying water tanks, patrol and management duties at tourist facilities, campgrounds, and accommodations, as well as for movement and light work within business premises.

Furthermore, for those considering returning their driver's license, it is attracting attention as an "alternative mobility" to senior vehicles, as it can handle not only transportation but also cargo carrying and light work.

The 'Blaze e-CARGO', which balances freedom of movement with practicality, is expected to be a new option to support local life and industries.
