eve autonomy Inc. (Headquarters: Iwata City, Shizuoka Prefecture; CEO: Ryosuke Hoshino; hereinafter referred to as 'eve autonomy') will hold hands-on experience events for its indoor/outdoor autonomous transport service 'eve auto' in collaboration with its sales partners Yamazen Corporation and Okaya Steel Corporation at two venues in Fukuoka Prefecture from June to July 2026.

These events will follow the company's exhibition at the 'Kyushu-East Asia International Logistics Exhibition INNOVATION EXPO 2026' held on June 24th (Wed) and 25th (Thu), 2026. Through live demonstrations and operational experiences, which are difficult to provide at the exhibition, attendees will be able to experience how 'eve auto®' can be utilized for in-plant logistics automation.

Background of the Events

eve autonomy has introduced 'eve auto®' through exhibitions and seminars across Japan. However, opportunities to see the system in actual operation in the Kyushu region have been limited.

Therefore, to provide customers in the Kyushu region with a deeper understanding of 'eve auto®', we are holding these hands-on experience events at two venues in Fukuoka Prefecture, coinciding with our participation in the 'Kyushu-East Asia International Logistics Exhibition INNOVATION EXPO 2026', in collaboration with our sales partners Yamazen Corporation and Okaya Steel Corporation.

While the exhibition will primarily feature static displays of the vehicle, the hands-on events will allow participants to see and touch the 'eve auto®', experiencing its driving performance, safety features, and the usability of its operational management system, which cannot be fully conveyed at the exhibition. Our goal is to promote understanding and aid in the consideration of implementing in-plant logistics automation.

Autonomous Transport Service 'eve auto'

eve autonomy provides 'eve auto®', a solution that enables the introduction of autonomous transport systems for factories and logistics facilities, primarily outdoors, without the need for prior facility construction. Outdoor environments demand operation under more challenging conditions than indoors, including road surface variations like steps and slopes, as well as weather conditions such as rain and sunlight.

'eve auto®' utilizes EV carts with high reliability used nationwide and cutting-edge autonomous driving technology also employed on public roads. It achieves unmanned transport operations at Level 4 autonomy in outdoor environments within factory premises, even in rain or at night, making it suitable for facilities requiring 24-hour operation. Currently, approximately 100 units are in operation at about 60 locations nationwide.
