Past and Future of Green Slow Mobility:

Focusing on Efforts in Wajima

Abstract

Green Slow Mobility is a small transport service that utilizes electric vehicles with a top speed of less than 20 km/h. The service started in the 2010s and has its roots in Wajima and Gunma. There is a great deal of difficulty in running golf carts used in golf courses on public roads, and in this paper, I will present the history of efforts made in Wajima for the project, the thoughts of the people involved, and the advantages of the small electric low-speed car that was later named Green Slow Mobility. In addition, I will present subsequent movements that have been made and describe the outlook for the future.
