Eve Autonomy Raises ¥1.5 Billion to Scale Outdoor Autonomous Transport Service “eve auto”
Eve Autonomy is a startup offering “eve auto,” a subscription-based, turnkey solution for outdoor autonomous transport using EVs equipped with advanced self-driving technology.
The eve auto system enables automated transport across outdoor areas—such as between buildings within factories or logistics facilities—where traditional AGVs (automated guided vehicles) have struggled to operate. The service combines high-mobility EV carts with cutting-edge autonomous driving systems and includes all necessary operational components, such as after-sales support and autonomous vehicle insurance, in one comprehensive package.
In July 2025, the company secured ¥1.5 billion (approx. USD 10.3 million) in funding through a syndicated loan from Shizuoka Bank and the Japan Finance Corporation. This funding complements their Series B extension round and will be used to accelerate business expansion—including vehicle procurement, product development, and new market entry both in Japan and abroad—as the company aims to reach 1,000 operating units by 2030.
