Ample has also partnered with OEMs such as Stellantis and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, part of Daimler Truck, to integrate its technology with various EV models.

This month, Mitsubishi Electric Mobility and Aisin formed a business partnership to develop products for next generation xEVs, moving away from their previous plan to create a joint venture.

The shift reflects the evolving demands of vehicle electrification and a strategic reallocation of corporate resources.

Also, this month, Nissan and Mitsubishi launched a joint venture (JV) to provide Level 4 autonomous EV services by the end of fiscal 2024.

The JV will offer passenger transport using self-driving electric vehicles, with verification tests starting in 2025. Both companies equally fund the venture.
