This is Yamaha’s first production model to employ the new Standing Assist system that helps the vehicle stand on its own when stopped. In some European countries, car license holders are able to ride the Tricity 300 without acquiring a motor-cycle license, helping us reach new customers. Sales of this model were strong in fiscal 2020, with 2,900 units sold in Europe and around 660 units sold in Japan following its September launch.ARTLaunch of New LMW ModelYamaha Motor completed development of the YRM20 as the first in its YRM Series of all-new next-generation mounter platforms embodying the Company’s Intelligent Factory concept.

Going forward, Yamaha Motor will continue to expand its lineup of next- generation YRM Series mounter platforms.ARTDevelopment of High-Efficiency, Multifunctional PlatformsFactories’ logistics operations are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain efficient demand-driven production systems under the existing model of basing equipment and operations on worker stationing due to a growing demand for high-mix, low-volume production combined with chronic labor shortages.
