Japan is considered to be the pioneer and the most advanced market for electric mobility. This study considers the technological stage of development and the realisation of innovations in the field of electric mobility in Japan and considers market-based, political and social frameworks which are relevant for the expansion of electric mobility. It especially focuses on the change that Japan’s economy has been going through due to the ongoing globalisation in the last few years. One of this study’s goals is to identify business opportunities and perspectives to establish cooperations and commercial relationships with small and medium-sized businesses in Germany.
This study was published in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy, VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH and the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Japan.
