First written in FY2016. 7 of 8 entries say "Advanced", first in FY2017. Latest entry: FY2025.
2 other companies' latest entry also says "Advanced".
- FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「In recent years, we have also been developing vehicle-body components to improve productivity and making proposals to key customers.」
Applications of vehicle-body analysis technology are expanding into development focused on improving the productivity of vehicle-body components and proposals to key customers. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「We continue to use our highly developed vehicle-body analysis technology to modularize some existing components into large modules, propose an optimal body structure including components that coexist with giga-casting, and convert these proposals into orders.」
The applications of vehicle-body analysis technology have expanded beyond integrated analysis of EV bodies and battery housings to proposals for large modules that coexist with giga-casting and optimal body structures. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「We will further advance the vehicle-body analysis technology we have developed to date and use it to analyze the vehicle body, battery housing, chassis and other components on an integrated basis, thereby establishing specifications that optimally allocate functions among the components.」
The conventional “one-body development” approach has expanded into establishing specifications for an EV-optimized platform integrating the vehicle body, battery housing and chassis. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「We are advancing initiatives to propose an optimized, waste-free platform through the integrated development of the vehicle body and battery housing, using the vehicle-body analysis technology we have developed over the years.」
The analysis technology behind “one-body development” has expanded into proposals for the integrated development of EV bodies and battery housings. - FY2020AdvancedAnnual report
「Technology development is essential to sustainable growth in manufacturing, and we will accelerate development of an entire vehicle body while further advancing our existing technologies.」
“One-body development” was repositioned from an ongoing initiative as a growth initiative to be accelerated and placed at the core of a specialist vehicle-body manufacturer responsible for development through mass production. - FY2018AdvancedAnnual report
「In technological innovation, we are focusing on perfecting body performance analysis technology as the core technology for proposing development of an entire vehicle to our automaker customers, with the aim of dramatically increasing the volume of parts ordered for new models.」
The annual report also confirms as a core initiative the policy of using body performance analysis technology supporting “one-body development” to expand the volume of parts ordered for new models. - FY2017AdvancedAnnual report
「In the technology field, we are improving the accuracy of an analysis model covering an entire vehicle body, with the aim of achieving both weight reduction and high rigidity. We developed a simulation model that shows a high correlation with actual-vehicle crash tests and have made highly reliable weight-reduction proposals, leading to increased parts orders.」
The company explains that it developed a simulation model covering an entire vehicle body that shows a high correlation with actual-vehicle crash tests, leading to increased orders. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「By mobilizing all of G-TEKT's resources to develop a system leading to “one-body development,” we proposed development covering an entire vehicle and expanded the parts ordered for new models.」
The company explains that proposals covering an entire vehicle expanded the parts ordered for new models.
