②Battery frames
・We have been accelerating the development of battery frames not only to protect batteries in the event of a collision, but also to improve energy consumption and reduce battery degradation with thermal management.

・We have been planning and conceptualizing functionally integrated body components using gigacast, etc., to reduce the number of components.

③Braking systems
・Through sales promotion for high-value added products, such as Cooperative regenerative braking systems and Electric-assisted parking brake, which is expected to see a further increase in demand in the BEV market, we will expand our business scale further .

 
[Initiatives for Intelligence]
・We will contribute to enhance the value of cars through integrated control of vehicles by combining products related to driving, turning and stopping, such as eAxle and steering, in addition to controlling the movement of the entire car using brakes.

・We will add sensing functions using sonars and cameras to system products, such as power sliding doors, and integrate cognition, judgment, and movement to realize “stress-free entry“ and a “comfortable mobile space” that enable safety assistance and behavior prediction based on the situation.
