-
Traffic Safety
Aiming for zero casualties from traffic accidents, we are working on traffic safety from two angles: educational activities focused on child safety and safe driving for older adults, and efforts to prevent accidents using technology and data.
-
Measures to mitigate traffic congestion
An increase in mobility needs accompanies economic growth and urbanization in emerging countries in the ASEAN region, aggravating traffic congestion and air pollution. To resolve these issues, we are implementing various initiatives that utilize vehicle movement data from traffic management, infrastructure development, and urban planning perspectives.

Support for people with mobility challenges
To realize our goal of "Mobility for All," we aim to create a world where people everywhere can enjoy safe, secure freedom of movement regardless of disability.
-
Hydrogen/Energy
To realize a decarbonized society, we provide grants to universities and research institutions for basic research on CO2-free hydrogen to help it become more widespread and conduct joint research with grant recipients.
-
Mobility support for local communities
To solve the various mobility issues that differ between countries and regions, we support efforts to secure mobility in areas in Japan where depopulation and aging are progressing, and effectively utilize public transportation in areas with growing populations, and also help to secure mobility in rural areas of Africa.
-
Contests/Open calls
We hold contests and open calls to support people who have new ideas and technologies aimed at solving mobility issues in society. We hope to realize a "ever-better mobility society" by supporting innovative ideas and technology.
