Continental recently established a sales and competence center for line, powertrain, exhaust and hydrogen technology in Yokohama, Japan.
By strengthening its presence in Japan, the technology company hopes not only to cooperate more closely with local powertrain technology leaders, but also to play an active role in the transformation of mobility as part of the Hydrogen Society strategy, with which Japan has created perfect conditions for further development toward sustainable individual mobility.
Hydrogen plays a prominent role in Japan’s future energy supply, knows Takeshi Kuroiwa, the head of the 15-member expert team: “Back in 2017, the government adopted plans for the so-called Hydrogen Society – the first industrialized nation ever to do so.
This particularly concerns individual mobility.” An important building block on the road to sustainable mobility in this context is drive technology. And here Continental’s fluid management experts can draw on their experience with previous technologies.
