Positioning of Environmental & Energy Business
Promote business in terms of both “energy saving” and “energy creation”

Energy saving
Motors account for 50% of global
electric power consumption.
Markets for motor control and its
application to energy saving, as wellas suppression of peak power andeffective use of regenerative energy
are significant. We enhance lineup ofenvironmental-responsive products
and solutions also in the existing
business.

Inverter, Matrix Converter, Efficient motor,

Energy creation
Efficient creation of renewable energy
by solar, wind and other sources is aglobal challenge.
We enter into the market with highefficiency components andengineering capability.
