1 Based on its slogan of "Protecting lives, Preserving the planet, and Preparing a bright future for generations to come," DENSO is engaged in the mission of solving the environmental and safety issues automotive society faces toward the creation of a sustainable automotive society. In the environmental field, DENSO is advancing the development of primarily fuel-saving technology that will help conserve the global environment. In the security and safety field, the Company is aiming to deliver "Everyday Confidence" that supports drivers and prevents accidents and "Extraordinary Safety" that minimizes injuries caused by accidents. At the same time, DENSO is advancing a range of technical developments toward the creation of a sustainable automotive society.

2 DENSO Environmental Technology Fuel-saving technology is one of the fields in which DENSO is focusing toward the solving of the issues facing automotive society. To make more effective use of energy that is mostly wasted by heat dissipation, the Company is working to make automobiles more energy efficient by such methods as improving the energy efficiency of and reducing the load on engines as well as the reuse of energy and engaging in its own energy management. Not confining itself to improving individual automobiles, the Company is expanding its field of view to encompass road transport infrastructure, such as traffic controls that utilize intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and advancing technical developments that will minimize wasted energy consumption in society as a whole.

4 Reduce damage from collisions, avoid collisions, develop information and communication technologies, develop future autonomous driving technologies The main causes of accidents are said to be drivers discovering that they are late, errors of judgment, and driving errors. The Company is engaged in the evolution of two core technologies: sensing technology that accurately keeps track of the driving environment / driver / automobile status; and human machine interface (HMI) technology to provide driving support appropriate to the prevalent conditions. On the basis of these core technologies, DENSO is aiming for an automobile accident-free society by endeavoring to provide "Everyday Confidence" to prevent accidents and "Extraordinary Safety" to minimize injuries in the event of an unavoidable collision; a society in which drivers can easily recognize dangers and are assisted to not make errors.

5 Phase Everyday confidence Normal Driving Danger Extraordinary safety Pre-crash In-crash/Post-crash Automation/Information Intervention Protection Assist The system controls the vehicle, and provides information when required.this eliminates difficulties and concerns about driving and reduces driver fatigue. The system warns and supports the driver in avoiding hazardous conditions. The system controls the vehicle when the driver cannot avoid an imminent collision. The system protects and quickly saves the occupants and pedestrians if the vehicle is involved in a collision.
