Electric Power Pavilion -Eggs of Possibilities
Looking beyond carbon neutrality, the Electric Power Pavilion depicts the future of society from the unique perspective of the electric power industry supporting the foundation of society.
By experiencing the many "Eggs of Possibilities" of energy, visitors to the pavilion can feel how "new energy possibilities will pioneer a brighter future".
Bus Stop/Power Visualization
The project aims to realise the Expo 2025 Green Vision by using visual equipment to provide information that evokes a future society and energy to a wide range of visitors.
We would like to invite you to visit the electric bus stop that was built by The Kansai Electric Power Company, Incorporated. The purpose of this visit is to give visitors an idea of the future society.
At the electric bus stop at the venue, visitors will have the opportunity to watch a video presentation and view other displays. These displays will provide information about what the future society could be like, with a focus on energy.
Electric Buses that automatically power themselves while running
The Electric Buses for Visitor Mobility are state of the art, with a fleet of approximately 100 vehicles.
In addition, new technologies such as Level 4 automated driving and in-transit power supply will be integrated to conduct a large-scale demonstration not seen anywhere else.
We plan to offer tours focusing on electric buses and dynamic charging, utilizing displays at the bus stop.
We look forward to seeing many of you there.
