Nissan (TYO:7201) said its Namie Smart Mobility field test program in Fukushima, Japan, will transition into a public transportation service and will be operated by Namie Town from Oct. 1, according to a Thursday release.
The Japanese automaker said the program, developed and tested since fiscal year 2020, was part of efforts to support regional recovery and address local transportation challenges following the Great East Japan earthquake.
The field test will end in September, and Moplus will support service operations under a contract with Namie Town.
