Background

The electrification of mobility and the development of the charging infrastructure to support it are now global issues that must be addressed in order to realize a decarbonized society. In particular, the urgent need to reduce CO₂ emissions calls for the promotion of electrified vehicles. However, while EV infrastructure for automobiles is steadily being developed in many countries, the response to small mobility such as motorcycles and three-wheeled vehicles has lagged behind. In order to realize decarbonization, it is essential to electrify the means of transportation, which are widely used mainly in Southeast Asia and India, while maintaining their convenience.

Naturenix.co.jp (Sumida-ku Tokyo CEO, Director : Yasuki Kanazawa) is a startup developing high-performance and long-life battery platforms, including its proprietary “3minGo!™“ technology, which enables quick charging in 3 minutes. Up to now, the company has been actively developing demonstration projects in Southeast Asia, focusing on next generation charging service models for electric motorcycles in urban areas.

Tatsuno (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Pathum Thani Province, President: Takashi Okahira), as the core base of the Tatsuno Group, is responsible for the development, manufacture, and sales of fuel supply infrastructure equipment, and has a large market share. In recent years, the company has been focusing on the field of EV chargers and has already installed and operated its own chargers at several locations in Bangkok and is making advanced efforts in the EV infrastructure business.

The two companies signed the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) on July 3, 2025, to establish a 3-minute charging infrastructure for small mobility vehicles that can be implemented in society by combining Naturenix's electrification technology, including charging technology with Tatsuno Thailand's expertise in quality and safety design and mass production of outdoor infrastructure equipment.

Purpose of the MOU

1. Feasibility study of commercialization starting from Southeast Asian market
    We will proceed with the feasibility assessment of next-generation charging infrastructure in urban areas, particularly in Bangkok, based on the premise of 3-minute charging.
   
   
2. Joint development of next-generation 3-minute charger
    Naturenix's fast charging technology with Tatsuno Thailand's knowledge of quality and safety design in outdoor equipment, we will develop a fast charger with high practicality and scalability.

Technology Overview and Advantages

The joint development will focus on Naturenix's patented technology to commercialize a quick charger for small mobility devices.

Power AMP
 A battery-integrated power supply system capable of supplying instantaneous high current even with input from a general single-phase power supply, enabling super-fast charging.

Multi-contact connector
 Heat generation during connection at low voltages and high currents is reduced, enhancing safety.

Cooling Technology
 It cools the heat-generating source directly and efficiently according to battery conditions, ensuring safe and stable charging.

By combining these innovative technologies with Tatsuno Thailand's expertise in product design, quality control, and mass production of industrial equipment for outdoor environments, such as gasoline stations, where particularly high safety performance is required, we will provide high-performance and reliable charging infrastructure.

Future Development

Based on this MOU, the two companies plan to complete the development of a demonstration unit by the end of 2025 and to install it at 5 locations in Bangkok to begin test operations (Phase 1) in early 2026 to make improvements based on subsequent operational data and to begin full-scale operations as Phase 2 in April of the same year.

In 2027, Tatsuno Thailand will begin full-scale commercial production and Naturenix aims to install its products at 7,000 locations in Bangkok by 2030. By realizing an infrastructure that allows electric bikes to be recharged in urban areas with “the same sensation as refueling” the company will work to build a new social infrastructure that will both electrify small mobility and reduce CO2 emissions.

In addition, this model which realizes a low-cost quick-charging infrastructure that does not require a three-phase power supply, will be deployed not only in Thailand but also throughout Southeast Asia and the rest of the world by utilizing Tatsuno's production, sales, and maintenance network. We will consider rapid development in accordance with the infrastructure conditions and market needs of each country.

Through these efforts, Naturenix and Tatsuno will contribute to the realization of a sustainable energy infrastructure by simultaneously promoting the mass production of next-generation charging technology and its deployment in next-generation mobility.

About Tatsuno Thailand

Tatsuno Thailand Co., Ltd. was established in 1989 as a local subsidiary of Tatsuno Corporation (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Sho Tatsuno) in Thailand and is responsible for the design, manufacture, sales, and maintenance of fuel dispenser and fueling infrastructure equipment. Since its establishment in 1911, Tatsuno has been a leading company in fuel supply equipment, providing high-quality and safe energy infrastructure both domestically and internationally, and is currently expanding its business domain into the hydrogen and electric mobility fields.

Tatsuno Thailand has a large market share in the gas station market and is also a pioneer in the EV charger business, leveraging its expertise in the design and production of outdoor-mounted equipment. Tatsuno Thailand has already installed its own EV chargers at several locations in Bangkok and is expected to further expand its business as a central location for EV and small mobility infrastructure.
