### ■ A "Running Design Product" Born Against the Backdrop of Shipbuilding Technology
e-NEO is a 3-seater electric mobility vehicle developed by Daizo Corporation, which has its roots in shipbuilding design philosophy and metal processing technology.
By directly transferring the "safety structure," "durability," and "precise design philosophy" cultivated at sea to land, we have realized a strong yet lightweight body structure. It has garnered attention as a "running design product" that combines a highly rigid body structure with stable driving performance, making urban mobility smarter and more stylish. Despite adopting a 3-wheel structure, NEO-ONE can be driven with a standard driver's license. It is suitable for a wide range of scenes, from daily shopping and city driving to business use.
It presents a "new form of mobility" that is an extension of everyday life, such as commuting, shopping, cafe time, and pick-up/drop-off.
It expresses being a "just-right next-generation mobility" that is neither a car nor a motorcycle, combining the mobility and design aesthetics required for urban life.
Through the sight of its compact body running nimbly, quietly, and smartly even in crowded cities, it proposes a new value system of "choosing an eco-friendly and personal way of moving."

## ■ Exhibition Report for the Promotion of Smart Islands: Verification Based on the "Reality" of Remote Islands
At the recently held "Smart Island" related exhibition, Daizo Corporation exhibited solutions to the unique mobility challenges of remote islands.
In this exhibition, rather than simply introducing the vehicle, we focused our explanation to visitors on how to maintain convenience for residents and tourists while keeping maintenance costs (the negative aspect) down under the harsh environments specific to remote islands, such as "salt damage, slopes, and narrow alleys."
Through dialogues with many local government officials, we confirmed a high level of interest in "resolving the negatives" mentioned below.
