From coverage of the JSAE 2022 in Yokohama exhibition
2022/07/27
- Summary
- New decarbonization technologies: EVs with solar panels (NEDO/Sharp/Nissan), Methanation (Hitachi Zosen)
- Expansion of introduction of electric vehicles and carbon neutrality initiatives (Daihatsu, Subaru, Mazda)
- Electrification of commercial vehicles and development of internal combustion engine vehicles utilizing carbon neutral fuels (Isuzu)
- Multipurpose deployment of FC systems and expansion of hydrogen use (Toyota, Honda)
- Interior materials: Initiatives for a decarbonized and recycling-oriented society (Toyoda Gosei, Toyota Boshoku)
- Resin materials that contribute to recycling of plastics and reduction of CO2 emissions (Mitsui Chemicals, Sumitomo Chemical)
Summary
The theme of the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2022 (Date: May 25 (Wed.) - May 27 (Fri.), 2022; Venue: Pacifico Yokohama convention and exhibition center) was "Forging Ahead! The Road to Carbon Neutrality” and the theme of the Yokohama trade show was "New Decarbonization Technologies Illuminating the Road to Carbon Neutrality”.
At each company's booth, beginning with the organizer's plan exhibition, presented a variety of initiatives from the perspective of "create, store, use" toward carbon neutrality, including automotive electrification technologies, materials that reduce the impact to the environment, and the use of renewable energy in factories.
