Release of "Impulse to Move" – A Short Film Showcasing The Kawasaki Group's Exhibit Theme at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan

The Kawasaki Group has released a short film showcasing "Impulse to Move," the theme for the Group's exhibit in the "Transportation & Mobility" category of the "Future Life Expo: Future City" (hereafter, "Future City"), a Future Society Showcase project at the 2025 World Exposition (Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan) which opens on April 13, 2025.

The Kawasaki Group developed the exhibit theme of "Impulse to Move" based on research showing that humans are predisposed on a genetic level to derive happiness from the act of moving. We believe that, in response to changes in society, people are developing and evolving mobility solutions to fulfill this Impulse to Move. At Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, we will be showcasing futuristic concept models for the year 2050, including the ALICE SYSTEM, a next-generation public transportation system that allows anyone to comfortably enjoy the journey to their destination, as well as a new category of personal mobility that enables safe access to places that were previously unreachable.

This short film expresses the worldview that social progress is closely tied to mobility, and that "mobility, born to fulfill the human Impulse to Move, is what will shape our future." Through the future mobility solutions and visual content presented by the Kawasaki Group at both the Yumeshima Expo Site and the Virtual Expo Site of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, we aim to explore the future of transportation together with visitors.
