Yamaha has announced an investment in Electric Motion SAS, a French-based company that specializes in the development and manufacturing of electric trial and off-road motorcycles.
With this move, the Iwata-based manufacturer aims ‘to raise the presence of both companies in the electric motorcycle market as well as to delve into the possibilites available with electric motorcycles for competition’.
In this strategic partnership, both parties will contribute their expertise and capabilities to collaborate on developing new technologies.
Founded in 2009, Electric Motion operates in approximately 40 countries and has seen consistent growth in the trial and off-road competition motorcycle market, with proven results in the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup and other events.
This investment aligns with Yamaha’s strategy to achieve carbon neutrality across all supply chains by 2050, continuing to focus on new technologies and sustainable products.
