On May 19, 2025, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. launched its new brand, Prismo®, developed based on its proven fully automated and driverless (GoA4) guideway transit system. The company will manufacture vehicles with enhanced environmental performance through energy management systems utilizing onboard storage batteries at Mihara Machinery Works in Hiroshima, which operates on 100% solar power. It will also promote resource-saving infrastructure. Accordingly, Prismo contributes to global efforts toward carbon neutrality by integrating energy-efficient vehicle design with resource-saving infrastructure.
