Toyota Industries' car electronics business is engaged in the development and manufacture of automobile-related electronic components and devices such as DC-DC converters for hybrid vehicles and vehicle-mounted DC-AC inverters that allow the use of household appliances within the vehicle. We are maximizing our power electronics development capabilities cultivated through our experience with circuit technology and electric drive systems.
In 2009, we developed a cooler for the core components of hybrid vehicles, which has been installed on the new Toyota Prius as part of the Power Control Unit (PCU).
Also, as part of our efforts towards achieving a low-carbon society we have been developing products for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles, which can be charged using a household power supply, in addition to promoting the building of charging systems including the infrastructure.
