Five focus domains

Environment & Energy

State-of-the-art technology for comfortable and environmentally friendly society

In the Environment & Energy domain, we propose the promotion of energy conservation and weight reduction in vehicles. We are also actively engaged in the construction of social infrastructure for new energy sources. Protection of the global environment is an important issue for both companies and society, and we are being called on to keep making progress in this area to an even higher degree. Leveraging our state-of-the-art technologies and knowledge in electronics, we work together with our customers to contribute to the realization of a circular economy that will protect the global environment from various angles.

Initiatives in the Environment & Energy Domain

Promotion of more energy-saving, lighter vehicles

Energy conservation and weight reduction in automotive are major issues for the electric vehicles of the future. We propose various solutions for inverters and other applications such as efficiency improvement, size reduction, heat radiation, and noise countermeasure. We also propose the use of new materials and the simplification of systems for weight reduction, and are working on the adoption of environmentally friendly materials.

Open the future

For the future of society and the earth

Plant fiber reinforced plastics

We are advancing proposals for molded materials incorporating plant fiber reinforcements into plastics, aiming to realize a sustainable society.

Press-fit manufacturing technology

To address the challenges associated with solder connections, we propose a press-fit manufacturing technology that eliminates the soldering process.

Heat radiation materials

Thermal management is one of the challenges in miniaturizing and lightening components to improve the energy efficiency of electric vehicles. We are therefore advancing proposals for various heat radiation materials.

Next-generation technology accelerating space-saving, high-efficiency design

We propose weight reduction through precision insert molding to reduce the number of parts, while also suggesting improved assembly flexibility by leveraging the flexibility of flexible busbars.
