Musashi Seimitsu Industry Co., Ltd. (Global Headquarters: Toyohashi-city, Aichi, Japan; President and CEO: Hiroshi Otsuka, “Musashi”) has made an additional strategic investment in ARC Ride (Headquarters: Nairobi, Kenya; CEO: Jo Hurst-Croft, “ARC Ride”). Musashi and ARC Ride are collaborating to promote the adoption of new E-mobility technologies in East Africa.
Musashi and ARC Ride will not only focus on the hardware side of the 2 and 3 wheel electric vehicles, but also expand their partnership to focus on the software side of the business, with access to data that can be extracted from the vehicles. Such insights are planned to assist the riders with their performance, as well as gaining important information about the status of the vehicles themselves.
Musashi will promote the development of e-mobility in East Africa, as well as contributing to the realization of a prosperous global community, where people and environment are in harmony. Musashi also seeks to enhance its strategy towards carbon neutrality with the assistance of ARC Ride.
