Yamato Transport is deploying the EV prototype in its delivery center in Tokyo. The two companies will collect data from the operation of the vehicle for analysis. Based on the results, Yamato may consider employing a commercial electric light van. The company fleet comprises about 45,000 vehicles including 4,659 hybrid electric vehicles.
