The two business areas of TTDC are intellectual property (IP) and measurement control solutions. The IP side of TTDC is involved in the collection and analysis of information on automotive technology developments globally, and provides services such as consulting for research planning, applying for patents in foreign languages, and technical translation.

  While the world is moving toward vehicle electrification as a result of the trend toward decarbonization, automakers continue to develop engines for use in hybrid vehicles and other applications. This report analyzes the trends in the development of engine control technology among Japanese OEMs using patent information. This report analyzes nine companies: Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota), Mazda Motor Corporation (Mazda), Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda), Isuzu Motors Ltd. (Isuzu), Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (Daihatsu), Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (Nissan), Subaru Corporation (Subaru), Suzuki Motor Corporation (Suzuki), and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (Mitsubishi).

  Although technology development related to engine control has been declining overall in recent years, Toyota and others have maintained a certain scale of development. Each company is actively developing engine control systems for hybrid vehicles. Furthermore, technologies for using fuels other than conventional gasoline, such as bi-fuel and hydrogen ammonia, as well as development of technologies in areas such as data learning and program updates, reflect recent trends.
