Message from the CTO

Supporting the mobility society of the future through the power of technology

Today, the automotive industry faces a major turning point. The advancing global trend toward carbon neutrality means our role is also evolving. With the current focus on electrification and hydrogen energy as a new source of power that no longer depend on fossil fuels, we at IJTT have also launched new development projects as we look ahead to society in the future.

One such project is the development of motorized unit products such as e-Axle and e-PTO. Motorized unit products are next-generation products that combine motors, inverters, reduction gears, pumps, and other components. These require a technological system that differs from that of conventional internal combustion engine-driven products.

Within this field, we are challenging ourselves to develop not only gear, shaft, and lubrication technologies but also motors and inverters. Research is underway into new technologies that meet the unique needs of electric vehicles, such as being lightweight, quiet, and highly efficient.

We are also actively involved in the field of hydrogen, which is expected to play a key role in sustainable energy. Taking advantage of the fact that hydrogen generators do not emit CO2 when generating electricity, we are developing technologies that will support the path to realizing a carbon-neutral society.

We are particularly focused on hydrogen reactor technologies, and are exploring new possibilities by refining hydrogen reaction technologies to ensure the power generation efficiency and durability of FC stacks.

Driven by a spirit of creativity and innovation, IJTT will continue to explore how we can contribute to society with every single parts. We aim to not only keep up with advances in vehicle technology but also actively create the future. With reliable quality, flexible thinking, and a passion for manufacturing as our foundation, we will continue to take on the challenge of realizing next-generation mobility systems.

Our hope is that the technologies we provide will aid the safe mobility of individuals and lead to lifestyles with greater peace of mind in the future.
