Industrial & Social Infrastructure

Raising energy usage efficiency in plant and reducing environmental load from logistics systems and industrial devices.

In the industrial field, we offer diverse drive solutions including service elements, built around high-efficiency motors and inverter control, to save energy in plant equipment and help to cut CO2 emissions. In logistics, we use modal shift, switching cargo from conventional truck transport to rail and ships, which are superior means of mass transportation for energy saving and pollution reduction. We are also pushing ahead with the introduction of eco cars with low fuel consumption and low emissions to reduce CO2 emissions. In construction machinery, the synergistic effects of newly-developed hydraulic systems and next-generation engines raise working speed while improving fuel economy, as well as reducing noise and facilitating recycling.
