R&D

We developed a compact quick charger and expanded the product lineup of high-output quick chargers compatible with standard communications protocols. In AC chargers, we developed a 6 kW output charger with proprietary specifications and commenced mass production. Furthermore, we advanced the development of bidirectional power converters for V2X applications.

In the telecommunication market field, we began mass production of high-efficiency, compact low-capacity 48 V power supplies. Also, we continued technological development of power source converters aimed at realizing more compact products with higher capacity and greater efficiency.

Capital Investment

Segment capital investment was aimed at expanding production capacity at Shindengen Three E Co., Ltd. in response to growing demand for EV quick chargers.
