Business results
- The Company achieved sales of over 2.8 billion yen (without tax) over the period of January through November 2006, a 52 percent increase compared with the same term last year. Production and sales of transmission stood at 218,964 units (up 85.1 percent year-on-year) and 214,123 units (up 76.44 percent year-on-year), respectively. The Company now controls 80 percent of the market share, up 30 percent from the 2004 level (50 percent). Among its 14 new products released in 2006, 12-shift high-power synchronized transmission system is enjoying a brisk demand, with its monthly production rate already exceeding 3,000 units.
Targets for the future
- The Company, which now focuses on transmissions for heavy-duty vehicles, will add transmissions for light-duty vehicles and passenger vehicles to its product line. It will also start developing automatically-controlled manual transmission systems, with a goal of becoming a general powertrain system supplier. Since it introduced technology from Eaton Corporation in the 1980's, the Company continued to develop its proprietary technology and expand its market presence, now achieving a 75 percent market share. On conditions of keeping its intellectual property rights to itself, the Company may tie up with foreign corporations in the future.

R&D
Recent developments
- The Company's proprietary new transmission systems under the Great King Kong brand rolled off the production line on 13 September, 2006. As a result of the Company's efforts to meet worldwide market demands, the products offer high levels of transmission efficiency and fuel consumption, along with improved durability - twice that of conventional systems. The patented China's first high performance multiple-speed mechanical transmissions for heavy-duty vehicles are expected to make a major contribution to the generational change in the Chinese heavy-duty vehicle market.
- The Company started rolling out four types of its proprietary new 12JS200T transmission systems, having passed a screening by the Shaanxi Province. The products offer stable performances, high transmission efficiency, and versatile applications with its fully synchronized double countershaft system applying a combined design for main and sub transmission cases. (From a press release on Aug. 10, 2006)
- The Company released its 2006 model-year 16JS200T transmission system for heavy duty trucks. The Company developed this new system in-house by making significant improvements to its 2003 model-year 16-speed transmission system. Based on twin countershaft high-capacity double cone synchronized mechanism and three-stage structure composed of basic transmission, front splitter group, and rear splitter group, the product offers very smooth gear shifting.
