naturenix Inc. (Sumida-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director Yasuki Kanazawa; the "Company") has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Yamada Shokai Holdings Co., Ltd. (Nagoya, Aichi; Representative Director Toyohisa Yamada) and Leave a Nest Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO Yukihiro Maru) and its affiliates ("Leave a Nest Group"), forming a strategic partnership to build fast-charging infrastructure for small mobility in Japan and across ASEAN. The signing ceremony took place at Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference Thailand 2026, hosted by Leave a Nest Singapore Pte. Ltd.
Two-wheelers remain the primary mode of transport for citizens across Southeast Asia, yet rising oil prices are squeezing household budgets. Two-wheeler electrification, however, has lagged behind four-wheelers — held back by rapid battery degradation in high-temperature environments and charging times of several hours.
naturenix has developed "3minGo!™," a 3-minute ultra-fast charging technology, paired with high-reliability batteries that achieve over 20,000 charge–discharge cycles. In December 2025, the Company signed an MOU with Tatsuno (Thailand) Co., Ltd. — the local subsidiary of Tatsuno Corporation — and began building 3-minute charging infrastructure for small mobility, starting in Thailand.
This new partnership combines naturenix's technology with Yamada Shokai Holdings' 120 years of expertise in designing, building, and maintaining energy infrastructure, jointly developing fast-charging infrastructure for small mobility across ASEAN. A proof-of-concept will be completed in Vietnam — where Yamada Shokai Holdings operates a group company — within 2026, followed by rapid expansion across Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, and other ASEAN markets.
To execute this partnership over the long term, naturenix and Yamada Shokai Holdings are also conducting due diligence toward a capital and business alliance, targeted for the end of February 2026.
This is the first initiative by Leave a Nest Group to directly connect technology and expertise from ventures and regional core enterprises to on-the-ground challenges in Southeast Asia.
