The next generation of automobiles is forecast to diversify and advance significantly over the coming years. The on-board technologies crafted by Furukawa Automotive Systems over decades, as well as the core technologies of Furukawa Electric, are crystallized in the form of stunningly original product groups.
To achieve a prosperous and sustainable society, many pressing issues will need to be addressed. The safety and comfort of automobiles must be improved. Preserving the environment, reducing energy consumed when driving and slashing CO2 emissions are all vital concerns. Furukawa Automotive Systems is committed to making automobiles safer, more comfortable and more environmentally friendly, ushering in the era of connected, autonomous, shared, electric (CASE) vehicles. To that end, guided by the key phrase “weight reduction, energy management and safety,” Furukawa Automotive Systems is pressing ahead with research and development in a diverse mix of products and technologies. These R&D activities support the core technologies of the Furukawa Electric Group.
Furukawa Electric and Furukawa Automotive Systems co-sponsor research conferences in the Shiga area. In addition to publishing reports on operating strategy for each product as well as results on related research themes, these conferences host lively discussions on R&D matters. By providing a venue for coordinating directions in operations and R&D, the conferences lead the way to the next generation of exciting products, and the next after that.
