The SD-03 is a 100% electric vehicle with zero emissions. It can reach a maximum speed of 48km/h and has a battery life of 10 minutes.

In 2025, Japan will host the Osaka World Expo, under the theme "Designing Future Society for Our Lives". On this occasion, a flying cab [4] service might be available using a fleet of SD-05s.
