Research into New Mechanisms and Electric Units for Electric Mobility

「In India, the number of vehicle models equipped with our e-Axle (EV drive unit) has increased.」

「We began mass production and launched this unit in India last fiscal year, and also began collaborating with local partners in Africa.」

「In the e-Mobility business, in addition to starting local production of e-Axles for two-wheel EVs in India, we were selected as an indirect grant recipient for the demonstration project "Feasibility Verification of Digital Services Using Electric Motorcycles and Other Vehicles to Help Reduce Environmental Impact in the Republic of Kenya," under the FY2023 supplementary budget program of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, "Global South Future-Oriented Co-Creation and Other Projects" ("Survey to Promote Overseas Infrastructure Development by Japanese Companies"), and have begun local operations.」

「For electric motorcycles, we are developing an e-Axle system that includes not only a reduction gear but also a motor and power control unit, with initiatives focused on local development in India. We are also conducting research and development on battery systems, including proprietary battery-cell and battery-control technologies, to strengthen our ability to propose solutions for the electric-motorcycle business.」

「In the powertrain segment, we received an order from HONDA MOTOR CO.,LTD. for a gearbox to be used in the e-Axle of a new fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) based on the CR-V. In addition, ahead of the shift to electric motorcycles, we are promoting the expansion of our EV business through open innovation in emerging markets such as India and Kenya.」

「In India, the world's largest motorcycle market, we have agreed to establish a new company as a joint venture with Delta Electronics, Inc. and TOYOTA TSUSHO CORPORATION, and will proceed with local production and sales of EV drive units.」

「We are actively seeking orders for EV drive units for the two-wheel EV market, which is expected to achieve significant growth in the future. In India, Southeast Asia, and Africa, collaboration with EV startups is taking concrete shape.」

「We are advancing research and development of reduction-gear units for four-wheel vehicles and e-Axles for two-wheel vehicles. Centered on our strengths in gear and differential technologies, we are using the latest computer-aided engineering simulations to optimize specifications and shorten development timelines.」

「In July 2022, we established the e-PT Development Department to strengthen and accelerate the development of electric powertrains for motorcycles and four-wheel vehicles.」

「For EV drive units for motorcycles in particular, we were invited to TICAD 8, the Eighth Tokyo International Conference on African Development, held in the Republic of Tunisia in August, and exhibited the units at the venue.」

「We are advancing research and development of proprietary reduction-gear units for electric cars and motorcycles.」

「We have newly developed an integrated motor unit with a gearbox for electric motorcycles, centered on high-precision, high-strength gear technology.」

「We are advancing research and development of proprietary electric units essential for hybrid vehicles and electric cars and motorcycles. Centered on Musashi's strengths in gear technology, the four-wheel business is expanding into reduction-gear units by adding differential technology, while the two-wheel business is developing complete electric units.」

「We are advancing research and development of proprietary electric units essential for hybrid vehicles and electric cars and motorcycles.」

「We are advancing research and development of proprietary electric units essential for hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and electric personal mobility. We are also conducting research into control models for electric units using simulations based on CAE (computer-aided engineering) and rapid prototyping, as well as requirements and functional analysis based on ISO26262, with the aim of commercializing electric units that give customers confidence.」

「We are advancing research and development of proprietary electric units that are highly efficient, compact, and lightweight for hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and electric personal mobility. We are also conducting research into control models for electric units using simulations based on CAE and rapid prototyping, as well as requirements and functional analysis based on ISO26262, with the aim of commercializing electric units that give customers confidence.」

「To contribute to an environmentally friendly mobility society, we are advancing research into new-mechanism products for electric vehicles and proprietary electric units for electric personal mobility.」
