The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

This forms part of the effort to acquire technologies in response to the progress of CASE and vehicle electrification, and to transform EXEDY's business portfolio in line with its medium- to long-term strategy and medium-term management plan. EXEDY states that the expected improvements in vehicle control and dynamic performance offered by in-wheel motors, greater design flexibility, innovation in drive systems, and their potential to resolve control-integration challenges associated with software-defined vehicles led to their adoption.
