Bank Rent-A-Car Co., Ltd., a group company of D&D Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President: Yoshinori Takemura), has succeeded the direct business operations of the EV car-sharing service "eemo" developed by REXEV Inc.
"eemo" is a community-based EV car-sharing service aiming for sustainable mobility and the local production and consumption of energy. It maximizes the use of locally generated renewable energy and also plays the role of a "regional emergency power supply" in the unlikely event of a disaster.
■ Succession of the "Energy x Mobility" Model Proven in Odawara City
The direct operations that Bank Rent-A-Car is taking over this time have mainly been deployed in the western Kanagawa and Seisho areas, centered around Odawara City.
In Odawara City, a demonstration project has been underway that links EV car-sharing with the supply and demand of regional energy. It verifies the potential of a new regional energy infrastructure utilizing EVs, such as promoting the use of renewable energy and responding to tight power supply and demand situations.
Through this business succession, our group will develop EV car-sharing as a "mobility service that plays a part in regional energy management."
■ Evolution into a Regional Problem-Solving Business
The D&D Group has traditionally strived to realize a sustainable society through CSR activities, such as contributing to local communities and environmental conservation efforts.
Going forward, rather than limiting these efforts to mere social contribution activities, we will establish them as businesses that balance profitability and social impact. By integrating them with our mobility business, we will evolve into a business model that directly contributes to solving social issues such as energy, regional transport, and tourism.
■ Building the "Regional Co-creation Model" Envisioned by the D&D Group
In addition to mobility businesses such as car rental and car sharing, the D&D Group develops tourism/accommodation businesses and regional collaboration businesses.
The DDL Business Division of D&D Management Co., Ltd., a group company, is exploring initiatives in Furano City, Hokkaido, with an eye on matching with companies to solve regional issues.
Furthermore, endorsing the purpose of "Zero Carbon Hokkaido" promoted by Hokkaido, we are laying the foundation for future regional collaboration, such as providing support through the corporate hometown tax donation program.
Against the backdrop of such initiatives, by cross-linking the diverse business resources our group possesses in "Energy (EVs/Renewable Energy)", "Mobility (Transportation)", and "Stays (Tourism/Accommodation)", we will promote the construction of a "Regional Co-creation Model," a new form of regional revitalization.
■ Future Outlook
The D&D Group will model the initiative of utilizing EV car-sharing as regional energy infrastructure and deploy it while strengthening collaboration with local governments and regional companies nationwide.
Furthermore, by promoting the horizontal expansion of this model to other regions, we will contribute to building sustainable mobility and energy infrastructures across the country, thereby contributing to the realization of a sustainable mobility society and the revitalization of regional economies.
