The vehicle features geofencing for safety and is prohibited from nighttime operation.
BRJ Inc. has put a wrapped three-wheeled electric seat board into operation at Tachihi Beach, a beach BBQ area a minute's walk from Tachihi Station in Tachikawa City. The vehicle is part of the company's Local Wrapping Sponsorship program, which uses the next-generation mobility concept TOCKLE to wrap vehicles in designs sponsored by local businesses. The idea is to make the support from the community visible as the vehicle moves through the city, creating a link between local businesses, residents, and visitors.
The service also addresses what BRJ calls regional transportation gaps, focusing on rural areas where buses and railways face deficits and driver shortages. Safety measures include a geofencing function that stops the vehicle if it enters a no-entry zone, and a complete ban on nighttime operation. The company says the service will evolve based on the level of support from local residents and businesses.
