Partnership unites Oso's commercial-grade electric equipment with TOWA's industry-leading smart charging and mobile power infrastructure solutions
IRVING, Texas, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Oso Robotics (osorobotics.ai), a leader in AI-driven electric commercial outdoor power equipment, today announced a strategic ownership investment in TOWA Industries, Inc. (towatools.com), the pioneer of commercial smart charging and mobile battery power systems for landscaping fleets, contractors, and municipalities. The investment deepens an existing relationship between the two companies and aligns them around a shared mission: making the transition from gas to battery-powered outdoor work faster, smarter, and more accessible.
The combined offering brings together Oso's commercial electric mowers and AI-powered autonomous platforms with TOWA's PDM™ Power Distribution Managers, PowerVault™ lockable charging cabinets, and BPS™ Mobile Battery Power Stations — Combining to provide a full end-to-end solution that directly addresses an ongoing electrification challenge: scaling with battery efficiently without overbuilding their electrical infrastructure.
"TOWA has been at the forefront of next-generation battery and charging solutions for the outdoor power equipment industry, and they've been solving a problem the rest of the market is only beginning to understand," said Nag Rao, Founder and CEO of Oso Robotics. "You can't electrify a commercial landscaping fleet without rethinking how the batteries get charged — overnight, on the trailer, and across an entire crew. Richard and the TOWA team have built the smartest, most scalable charging infrastructure in the industry, and we're thrilled to invest in their continued growth. Together, we're going to deliver an end-to-end electric ecosystem that commercial operators have been asking for."
TOWA's patented NoTrip™ technology has become the new standard among contractors transitioning fleets to battery power, allowing crews to charge multiple batteries simultaneously on a single standard circuit without overloading or tripping breakers — a critical capability as states like California, New York, and Washington tighten restrictions on small gas engines and noise bans taking place across the country. TOWA Industries is the only manufacturer to accomplish proprietary active load balancing technology for operators to maximize the amount of energy with minimal to no human intervention.
"Oso is building the most reliable commercial electric equipment on the market, and they share our conviction that charging infrastructure is the linchpin of the entire transition," said Richard Ogawa, Co-Founder and CEO of TOWA Industries. "This investment gives us the resources and the strategic alignment to accelerate our roadmap, expand into new markets, and deliver integrated power solutions that work seamlessly with the equipment crews are already running. We couldn't ask for a better partner than Nag and the Oso team. The future of outdoor work is electric, autonomous, and intelligently powered — and we intend to lead it together."
