Yamaha Motor Taiwan has launched the new Yamaha EMF, a futuristic-looking electric scooter with Gogoro-powered swappable batteries. The EMF is the second electic vehicle to be developed in collaboration with Gogoro.

Gogoro has established itself as a global innovation leader in compact electric propulsion, smart battery design, battery swapping, and advanced cloud services that utilize artificial intelligence to manage battery availability and safety.

The Powered by Gogoro Network Program gives partners like Yamaha access to the Gogoro’s Development Kit (GDK), that includes Gogoro’s intelligent drivetrains and controllers, components, and smart systems, so they can develop unique electric vehicles that integrate with Gogoro Network battery swapping. Hero MotoCorp has also partnered with Gogoro to develop electric vehicles and battery swapping infrastructure for the Indian market.
