"Aisin Group's booth (Conceptual view) (Location:Hall 5.1 No.B16)"

Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kariya City, Aichi; President: Fumio Fujimori) and three group companies*1 will jointly exhibit at the Frankfurt Motor Show at Messe Frankfurt in Frankfurt, Germany from September 12 through 22.

This exhibition will feature the debut of a next-generation demonstration vehicle outfitted with a wide variety of products including the latest innovations from the Aisin Group, effectively displaying the Group's combined competencies.

The booth will have a special exhibition area for hybrid vehicle-oriented products, including a electric engine cooling water pump and VVT*2 with intermediate lock mechanism, medium torque capacity RWD hybrid transmission, and regenerative braking system. These Aisin Group solutions for hybrid vehicles will be displayed as an integrated system to maximize appeal.

Other Aisin Group products and technologies on display will revolve around three themes: "boosting fuel efficiency," "maximizing safety," and "comfort and convenience."

While the Aisin Group already supplies automatic transmissions and other products to a large number of European automakers, but by exhibiting at the Frankfurt Motor Show the Group will aim to boost its market presence further.
