We look forward to connecting with partners and innovators who share our vision and working together to cultivate a sustainable future.”
Exhibition Highlights
Yanmar’s exhibition will show how the company combines practical expertise, intelligent technology and equipment to address real-world challenges across LAND, SEA and CITY. The exhibits demonstrate approaches to creating more connected food systems, smarter marine operations and resilient communities.
1) LAND
Creating new value through data across the food value chain
Yanmar aims to optimize the entire food value chain by connecting production, processing and sales through data. By leveraging data collected in the field, Yanmar supports better decision-making and operational efficiency.
In the LAND zone, Yanmar will showcase a data-driven solution deployed in the sugarcane industry in Okinawa, Japan, and Thailand. By connecting growers, agricultural machinery, harvesting contractors and processing facilities through real-time data, including location information, the solution helps improve visibility and optimize operations from harvesting through processing.

3) CITY
Powering optimized energy use and sustainable communities
Yanmar’s vision is to connect diverse energy sources, including hydrogen and renewable energy, through data to optimize energy use across entire communities. By delivering energy where it is needed, efficiently and reliably, the company aims to create new value through future energy services. Beyond energy management, Yanmar also contributes to community development through technologies such as construction equipment and emergency generators, helping support safe and resilient living environments.
In the CITY zone, Yanmar will showcase integrated energy solutions that combine technologies such as hydrogen generators and cogeneration systems. By automatically coordinating electricity and heat supply at the community level, these solutions help maximize energy efficiency and resilience.
Visitors will also see the ViO35-7 mini excavator which demonstrates Yanmar’s expertise in supporting the practical work of building and maintaining communities. Designed for safe operation in confined urban spaces, it helps operators work productively where space is limited. Future developments aim to make complex work easier for less experienced operators by embedding expert knowhow into machine functions. Together these technologies demonstrate Yanmar’s approach to helping communities use energy, space, and human expertise more effectively.
