In the automotive parts industry, we are a company boasting one of the top domestic market shares in thermal systems, mobility systems, power train systems, electrification systems, and electronic systems.
Currently, we are focusing on four areas: electrification, connectivity, advanced safety/autonomous driving, and non-vehicle business (FA/agriculture)]. In particular, in the field of autonomous driving, we are conducting public road demonstration experiments for Level 4 autonomous driving, working toward the future of safe and secure mobility systems.

In electric vehicle development, multiple areas such as motors, inverters, batteries, thermal management, and vehicle control are closely interconnected, and it is important for customers and suppliers to share technical challenges and system configurations even before mass production development begins.

At the Tokyo Sales Technical Office, we are making proposals and conducting joint discussions with DENSO's technical department from the vehicle concept and early development stages to car manufacturers in the Kanto region. On the other hand, in advanced development, it is necessary to proceed with decisions between customers and internally, not only technical considerations but also the scope of consideration, division of roles, prototyping and development costs, schedule, deliverables, and many other matters.

Going forward, to more reliably connect advanced development activities in the electric drive field to mass production and business, we are recruiting sales technical personnel who stand between customers and DENSO's technical departments, overseeing the entire project, and guiding each outstanding issue to be decided and executed one by one.
