Latest trends in electrification, intelligent mobility and service-oriented transport took center stage at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 that wrapped up on Sunday after an 11-day run in Tokyo. Themed "A unique opportunity to explore the future of mobility," the show drew more than 500 companies and organizations, the largest-ever participation since the fair began in 2023. Automakers and mobility firms unveiled vehicles fitted with cutting-edge technologies, many making their public debut. Major Japanese car brands such as Toyota, Nissan and Honda displayed a broader lineup of battery-electric concept cars and production models, as electric vehicles gained further ground. Several companies pushed deeper into the micro-EV segment for short urban trips. To improve charging convenience, Nissan introduced a retractable onboard solar panel capable of generating enough power for roughly 3,000 kilometers of driving a year, covering daily grocery runs or family pick-ups without a visit to a charging station. The system can also serve as an emergency power source during disasters. Nissan engineers said such additions could make EV use more practical, while truck manufacturers highlighted efforts to expand clean-energy options beyond battery power. Japanese carmakers are also testing alternative energy sources. Some displayed passenger-car concepts powered by microalgae-based fuel paired with onboard carbon-capture systems. In the commercial-vehicle sector, manufacturers rolled out Japan's first liquid-hydrogen fuel-cell truck prototype, aiming to spur hydrogen use and reduce related costs. The show also highlighted new solutions for diverse travel needs, ranging from a bionic four-leg walking chair for seniors and people with limited mobility to a steering wheel-free single-seat pod and an electric device that can climb stairs while keeping riders in a cycling posture.
