Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. (Head office: Kariya-shi, Aichi-ken; President: Yasumori Ihara) and Aisin AW Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Anjo-shi, Aichi-ken; President: Mutsumi Kawamoto) will jointly exhibit at the 2016 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), which will be held at the COBO Center in Detroit, USA from Saturday, January 16th to Sunday, January 24th. The two companies will present the Aisin Group's products and the technologies that the Group is pursuing in its R&D efforts, on the themes of "Environment and Fuel Efficiency," "Security and Safety," and "Comfort and Convenience."

A few of the highlights include Aisin's FR 8-speed automatic transmissions, which are as compact as 6-speed automatic transmissions, yet achieve 8 speeds and significantly improve fuel efficiency. Also on display will be transmissions aimed at the North American market, such as a FR6-speed automatic transmission which is installed on pickup trucks and a CVT.

Additionally at NAIAS, Aisin will show video clips of a demonstration vehicle equipped with the group's automatic driving and parking technology that links the intelligent parking assist system for rear parking and parallel parking, the driver monitor system, and the car navigation system. This aspect of Aisin's participation in NAIAS will serve to demonstrate to the North American market its commitment to making driving more secure and safer and improving automatic driving technology.

The Aisin Group is committed to protecting the environment and building good relationships with local communities, as part of an overall effort to further improve technical development, production, and marketing operations in North America.
