Transportation systems that use key devices to reduce environmental burden

We develop and supply lithium ion batteries for hybrid vehicles, which have high fuel efficiency and make a major contribution to CO2 emission reduction. By putting these batteries on a mass product footing, we help automakers to develop hybrid vehicles, achieving fuel economy improvements and gas emission reductions.
We are also making our contribution to the spread of rail systems, which are attracting the world's attention as an environmentally conscious way for medium-distance mass transportation.

Trains are attracting the world's attention as an environmentally conscious way of transportation. What can we do to make trains for our customers that are not just safer and more comfortable, but also more environmentally conscious? We began as pioneers in the manufacture of electric locomotives, and we are already working on that challenge.
