ITOKI CORPORATION (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President: Koji Minato, hereinafter "ITOKI") and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (Head office: Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Makoto Uchida, hereinafter "Nissan") are pleased to announce that they have jointly developed "MOOW," a mobile office car that allows users to telework comfortably in the back seat space. The two companies will continue to develop this product further, aiming for a release within fiscal year 2022, and will consider selling it at Nissan dealerships.

This product will be exhibited at the workplace trade show ``Orgatec Tokyo 2022'', an office furniture trade fair from Germany that will be arriving in Japan for the first time, to be held from April 26th (Tuesday) to April 28th (Thursday), 2022.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, some people are avoiding working in offices or using public transportation during rush hours, and the use of cars that can secure a private space is attracting attention. However, there is also the issue of not being able to secure enough space for telework in a car. Therefore, Itoki and Nissan jointly developed MOOW, a mobile office car that allows people to comfortably telework from inside the car.

"MOOW" is based on the experience of creating special-purpose vehicles based on Nissan's "NV200 Vanette," which is well-received by customers for its ease of use, as well as the knowledge of ergonomics and office design that Itoki has cultivated over the years. We used our experience to create the interior design of the car. The entire rear seat area has been secured as a telework space, eliminating the feeling of being cramped. It can be used by many working people, including not only sales people who often visit business partners, but also office workers and self-employed individuals who want to separate their home and workspaces to create a telework environment where they can concentrate more. receive.

Itoki and Nissan are contributing to the realization of a better society by proposing and providing highly productive work styles that utilize the mobile office car "MOOW", as the work environment is undergoing major changes due to changes in social conditions. I will continue to do so.

Equipped with a high-performance lithium-ion battery developed by Nissan to maintain interior comfort. It is also possible to charge while driving, and can supply the electricity necessary for telework even when the engine is stopped. The heating and cooling equipment, which is essential for a comfortable workspace, can be operated for about 5 hours*. (*When operating at 600W/h)

The rear of the vehicle is designed to allow passengers to sit in an ergonomically ideal posture.
The interior of the vehicle is equipped with indirect lighting that creates an environment suitable for online meetings. The desk top is movable for easy sitting, is sized to accommodate the use of a laptop, and has a slit for hands-free video calling by inserting a smartphone.

The side table, which makes use of the tire house, houses a retractable ottoman that you can rest your feet on in a backward-leaning position.
