Four companies in the Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies Corporation (CJPT), Isuzu Motors Limited, Toyota Motor Corporation, Suzuki Motor Corporation, and Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd., along with Hino Motors, Ltd., are holding a test drive event with the cooperation of Toyota Motor Thailand Co., Ltd, to introduce commercial vehicles for various purposes to government officials, media, fleet companies, and partner corporations.
CJPT was established in April 2021 to accelerate the implementation and popularisation of CASE technologies toward solving transportation challenges and achieving a carbon neutral (CN) society.
CP Group also owns the 7-Eleven chain in Thailand, apart from the Lotus's we're so familiar with
Following the collaboration with Charoen Pokphand Group (CP) announced in December last year, CJPT aims to expand partnerships in Asia, including in the area of energy supply (energy solutions), mobility solutions such as vehicle provision and logistics management, and data solutions, by integrating the strengths of each company.
In the journey towards carbon neutrality, the powertrain of the vehicle that customers seek may vary depending on the energy situation and their usage in each country or region, with various options such as Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV).
Therefore, it is important to provide the optimal mobility solution according to the regional environment and customer needs.
CJPT positions this test drive event as part of expansion activities with more partners, and will further accelerate the company's efforts to realise carbon neutrality in Thailand.

CJPT President Hiroki Nakajima said, "With appreciation to the society, we would like to contribute to improving the quality of life of people in Asia with various low-fuel consumption and high-efficiency vehicles, including small (Kei) ICE vans, Hybrid Electric Vehicles, Battery Electric Vehicles, and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles.
"We would like to hear the sincere opinions of the stakeholders through experiencing each product, and consider the appropriate way to climb the mountain of tackling carbon neutrality together."
Starting from Thailand, CJPT will continue to work to quickly deploy decarbonisation technologies to the Asian market by integrating their knowledge and collaborating with like-minded stakeholders to contribute to improving people’s lives in Asia.
With humble beginnings collecting diecast models and spending hours virtually tuning dream cars on the computer, his love of cars has delightfully transformed into a career. Sanjay enjoys how the same passion for cars transcends boundaries and brings people together.
