The University of Tokyo, along with Bridgestone Corporation, NSK Ltd., ROHM Co., Ltd., Toyo Electric Mfg. Co., Ltd., DENSO Corporation, Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., SWCC Corporation, CARMATE Co., Ltd., and the Miyagi Laboratory at Chiba University (hereinafter referred to as "this research group"), has been conducting research on in-vehicle power supply systems since 2018.
On October 3, 2023, Japan's first "on-road charging demonstration experiment" was launched within Kashiwanoha Smart City. This experiment was conducted as part of the "Initiative to Develop On-Road Charging Technology for Electric Vehicles," a framework established by the University of Tokyo, Kashiwa City, other related organizations, and the Kashiwa ITS Promotion Council.
In this initiative, our company provides an RC-S actual vehicle Transient Bench to recreate slopes and driving environments. We are contributing to research aimed at optimizing driving routes using in-run power supply.
