Yamaha Motor Co. aims to be a “Kando*-creating company,” and provides people around the world with new excitement and richer lives in areas such as land mobility, marine craft and robotics. Recently, its core business of mobility has been undergoing a major transformation as it pushes toward carbon neutrality and vehicle electrification to serve customers with more diverse values.
