Factors
1)
-Overall sales at the Company increased 9.9% year-on-year to 2 trillion, 257.4 billion yen, compared to last year's 2 trillion 54.4 billion yen due to a strong sales trend in products designed for hybrid vehicles, including  transmission products and electric pumps used for cooling engines,  even though the company adjusted its production at some plants at the end of the fiscal year in order to accommodate the plant operations of customers affected  by the Great East Japan Earthquake. In addition, sales overseas, especially in Asia, contributed to the growth in sales. .

Its most recent achievements include an electric-powered water pump for use in engine cooling and a gas-engine co-generation system for homes.

Product Development

Electric-powered vacuum pump for brakes.
-Developed an electric vacuum pump for use in automobile brake systems. There are two types available; one for conventional gasoline engine vehicles and the other for electric and hybrid vehicles. When used for a vehicle with a 2-liter level engine, fuel efficiency is expected to be improved by 0.2 to 0.4 percent because engine load can be saved by electricity. Aisin has already started to approach automakers for making presentation of this new technology. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on May. 21, 2010)
