Develop & Design / Improving the Environmental Features of Automobiles

Development of Environmentally Friendly Vehicle System

As a means of reducing the impact on the global environment, we are conducting activities geared toward improving electrical transmission efficiency,reducing weight and improving fuel efficiency.

AISIN has been involved in the development of eco-friendly products from early on. For example, in 2004 Aisin AW developed the FWD 2-motor hybrid system, and in 2006, we successfully commercialized the world's first RWD 2-motor hybrid transmission.


2-Motor Hybrid System

The 2-motor hybrid system offers greater fuel efficiency through optimal engine operation and brake energy regeneration.

Decreasing Frame Weight Using “Die quench” Method

Frame construction using the die quench process achieved equal strength with high tensile steel (1470 Mpa) by quenching a heated blank simultaneously with stamping, along with lighter weight and lower cost.
