Bus遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないess environment and background
Accelerat遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないg 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないtroduction of EVs and grow遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないg needs for lighter weight
Directed at a遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないieving carbon neutrality in 2050, decarbonization of the mobility domain has become an important issue. The key to a遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないieving this will be electric vehicles (EVs). Following the more widespread introduction of EVs, there are currently demands to further reduce the weight of vehicle components with the aim of improving driving distance per 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないarge.
However, in many cases, increasing vehicle performance leads to heavier weight, so there is growing demand for aluminum 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないmponents in order to reduce vehicle weight.
Realizing safe, secure and 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないvenient vehicles
In the mobility industry, the needs for vehicles with a higher level of safety are increasing. In order to realize su遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できない safety, vehicle components need to be high performance and high precision.
Based on these trends, Furukawa Electric offers wir遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないg harnesses, peripheral monitor遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないg radar and lead-acid battery state sensor 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できない the Automotive Products & Batteries bus遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないess, as well as batteries through the bus遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないess operated by the listed subsidiary Furukawa Battery.

Alum遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないum wir遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないg harnesses and Alpha Term遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないal® boast high superiority and orig遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないality
Automobile wiring harnesses supply electric power and transmit signals within the vehicle and function similar to the human nervous and circulatory systems. Traditionally, wiring harnesses used copper as the 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないductor, but in response to the needs for lighter weight, depleted copper reserves and soaring prices, copper is increasingly being replaced by aluminum. However, in aluminum wiring harness, the point of 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないtact between the aluminum wire and copper alloy terminal corrodes easily, resulting in issues in the more widespread use of these harnesses.
The Alpha Terminal® series developed by Furukawa Electric in response to this issue uses proprietary optical fiber laser welding technology to realize a corrosion-proof structure with excellent airtightness. In addition, the aluminum wiring harnesses are 20-40% lighter than traditional copper harnesses, thereby 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないtributing to lighter vehicle weight and reduced CO₂ emissions.
The production process for the aluminum wire and Alpha Terminal® is carried out fully within the Furukawa Electric Group, and while utilizing renewable energy, we have 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないme together as a group to establish a sustainable production system.
Original product 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないceived through a combination of the Furukawa Electric Group’s core technology and in-vehicle technology
Our ability to combine the core te遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないnology and in-vehicle te遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないnology accumulated within the entire Furukawa Electric Group to develop products with unparalleled originality is also a major strength.
For example, our “peripheral monitoring radar” combines high frequency technology and in-vehicle technology to support safe driving by detecting obstructions in the blind spots around the vehicle. The newly developed se遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないd generation radar model pursues an even higher level of safety with the aim of 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないforming to the requirements for functional safety and cybersecurity.
Our BSS® (lead-acid battery state sensor), which provides battery information important for vehicle power supply management, is a product that utilizes lead-acid battery technology and insights. The sensor uses proprietary technology to accurately monitor the battery state of charge and 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないtribute to optimized charge 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないtrol and safe, definite system activation. It also realizes a power supply system that 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないtributes to improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO₂ emissions.

Medium-term bus遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないess strategy (2025)
Aluminum wiring harnesses and Alpha Terminal® to be equipped in 100 vehicle models of 8 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないmpanies
While leveraging the strengths of the Alpha Terminal®, including high corrosion resistance and a fully in-house production system, we will further 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないtribute to reducing vehicle weight. In particular, aluminum wiring harnesses using Alpha Terminals® were equipped in 56 vehicle models of 6 manufacturers in FY2021, but this will increase to 100 models of 8 manufacturers in 2024.
Enter遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないg and expand遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないg 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないto new markets for peripheral monitor遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないg radar
Furukawa Electric’s peripheral monitoring radar uses proprietary original pulse wave transmission. It features a high level of freedom in vehicle installation location, and rain, snow and fog have minimal impact on radar performance. Leveraging these strengths, along with use in light cars and SUVs, we are working to create and expand into new markets, including agricultural machinery, 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないstruction equipment, forklifts and traffic infrastructure. We will aim to increase sales by 4.4 times in 2025 (compared to FY2021).
Development of smaller, lighter, higher performance high voltage products
High voltage products that can withstand high voltages and large currents are essential for vehicle electrification. Utilizing the well-differentiated technology of the Furukawa Electric Group, we have developed high voltage wiring harnesses, high voltage junction boxes and high voltage 遊雅堂 クレジットカード入金できないnectors that are smaller, lighter and higher performance. We will aim to increase sales of high voltage products by 1.3 times in 2025 (compared to FY2021).
