A Message from the Division Head
In EV chargers, development will continue on newly proposed products based on our own brand concept, while also taking into consideration technical standards and services in line with the latest market and industry trends. Furthermore, we aim to strengthen our cost competition through a review of all design, production, management, and procurement processes, as well as by promoting efficiency and optimization. In power supplies for the telecommunications market, we will expand our lineup of high-efficiency rectifiers from small to large capacities to ensure market superiority.
Segment Overview
This segment offers power supplies and monitoring equipment focused on efficient energy conversion and use based on the Group’s wealth of electric power conversion technologies built up over the decades. To meet society’s needs as energy diversifies, we will continue to tirelessly advance technological development and quickly realize technologies that can reduce environmental burden in order to help realize a sustainable society.
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 that offers a high degree of installation freedom. 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.
