In July 2021, Yamaha Motor Group reviewed its Environmental Plan 2050, originally formulated in 2018, to set a new goal of carbon neutrality throughout all of its business activities—including across the life cycles of its products—by 2050. One of the goals was to reduce Scope 3 (Use of sold products) CO2 emissions by 90% by 2050 compared to 2010 levels. The new Yamaha EMF is a strategic electric vehicle that will be introduced to the market in order to help achieve this goal.
Utilizing Gogoro's Development Kit (GDK), the Yamaha EMF was designed by Yamaha Motor's local Taiwan subsidiary, Yamaha Motor R&D Taiwan Co., Ltd. and will be produced and marketed by Yamaha Motor Taiwan Co., Ltd.
