「For HEVs, at the Technology Strategy Briefing 2025 held in September 2025, we announced that we had completed the feasibility study for a new hybrid system and moved on to the next stage of development. Development of series HEVs is also progressing to the next step.」
Under the multipathway technology strategy, the new HEV and series HEV completed their feasibility studies and moved on to the next stage of development. - FY2026-H1AdvancedAnnual report
「As the sixth pillar of our new initiatives, we have added future technology for CN. CN stands for carbon negative.」
Carbon-negative technology that absorbs CO2 was added as the sixth pillar to the existing 5 technology development pillars. Retrofitting existing vehicles with CO2 capture equipment and agricultural applications are being pursued as technology issues. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「To achieve this, we will pursue technology development based on 5 pillars: lightweight and safe vehicle bodies, which support the entire system; battery-lean BEVs and HEVs that use the right materials for each customer's needs; a combination of efficient ICE and CNF technologies; SDV Light, which creates vehicle value through an affordable system; and easy-to-disassemble designs that facilitate recycling as part of the circular economy.」
The technology strategy looking 10 years ahead was incorporated into 5 pillars as the research and development policy of the new medium-term management plan, “By Your Side,” and expanded into initiatives to minimize energy consumption from manufacturing through recycling. - FY2025-H1First statedAnnual report
「We will pursue technology development based on 5 pillars to achieve minimal energy consumption through products that are small, use less, are lightweight, short and beautiful.」
Beginning with the technology strategy briefing held in July 2024, the Company presented a technology strategy looking 10 years ahead, based on 5 pillars: lightweight and safe vehicle bodies, battery-lean BEVs and HEVs, efficient ICE and CNF technologies, SDV Light (right), and easy-to-disassemble designs that facilitate recycling, with the aim of minimizing energy consumption from materials through manufacturing, use and recycling.
