Gogoro has expressed deep sorrow following the passing of Samuel Yin, president of Ruentex Group and a significant supporter of the company’s growth journey. Yin died peacefully at Taipei Veterans General Hospital in the early hours of May 26. He was 76.
In its statement, Gogoro paid tribute to Yin’s influence and support, recognizing the role he played in backing innovation and helping advance the company’s mission in the electric mobility sector. Yin was known as an important figure in Taiwan’s business community, with a long career tied to investment, industry development, and corporate leadership.
His support for Gogoro was especially meaningful as the company worked to expand its electric scooter and battery-swapping ecosystem. With electric mobility becoming increasingly important across Asia and beyond, early backing from influential business leaders helped strengthen Gogoro’s position in the clean transportation market.
Yin’s passing marks the loss of a respected entrepreneur and investor whose work reached across multiple industries. Gogoro’s message reflected both gratitude and mourning, honoring his contribution to the company and the broader business landscape in Taiwan.
As the electric vehicle industry continues to evolve, Samuel Yin’s involvement in supporting forward-looking technology remains part of his legacy. His commitment to innovation, sustainability, and industrial progress will be remembered by those who worked with him and by the companies that benefited from his vision.
