We are taking on the challenge of creating new markets using our world-leading motor and control technologies.
We are taking on the challenge of creating new markets using our world-leading motor and control technologies. Our motors and controllers for solar cars and Eco-Run races are highly acclaimed both in Japan and overseas. In national races, over 98% of the participating teams use Mitsuba motors and such teams dominate the podiums.
In addition, at the World Solar Challenge 2019 (Australia), teams using our drive motor and controller won 1st and 2nd place.
We are contributing toward the development of engineers by providing drive systems for university and high school teams and giving race support. Supported teams have been highly evaluated in all classes.
In addition, Yoishotto! Mitsuba, made up of in-house volunteers, and MCJ, made up of volunteers from among relatively new employees in their second and third years, are two teams that have participated in a number of eco-run races, and have won a total of seven Grand Prix championships at the World Econo Move Grand Prix (WEM-GP).
To improve the performance of our EV drive systems, we developed a motor controller for electric racing karts (ERK) and continue to improve performance by participating in races.
In 2020, we won the ERK CUP JAPAN tournament using a vehicle with maximized regenerative braking.
To produce light EV vehicles with good cost performance, we are working on an all-wheel independent drive system that uses an SR motor system for each of the four wheels.
In FY2020, we participated in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Distribution MaaS Demonstration Experiment Public Offering Project , carried out demonstration experiments using actual delivery routes with a licensed prototype vehicle, and are working toward practical application of light freight EV vehicles.
To resolve the lack of local transportation in cities, Mitsuba is working with the Gunma University Center for Research on Adoption of NextGen Transportation Systems on technological developments to resolve regional mobility issues.
We installed steering motor systems and sensors into cars for seniors, manufactured a prototype that automatically drives a course, and are demonstrating a concept based on the last mile of movement from home to the nearest bus stop or train station.
(* Last mile: Movement along the shortest distance between the nearest train station or bus stop and a person’s home or destination)
