Low-Carbon Lifestyle and Movement

DENSO believes that environmentally responsible conduct on the part of its can make a significant contribution to the prevention of global warming.

To this end, we are making efforts to establish a foundation for and raise awareness of Eco Life, including reducing transport energy by half through the introduction of next-generation BEV/PHEV company cars and car sharing, as well as reducing energy used at home by half through energy-saving ingenuity.

DENSO promotes the use of clean energy vehicles and low pollution-emitting cars in the Company’s fleet and maintains and promotes the use of public transport through the dispatch of a shuttle bus to and from the nearest station.

In January 2022, DENSO introduced a fuel-cell electric bus in an effort to promote the use of clean energy and to contribute to the growth of a hydrogen-based society. In addition to its use as a commuter bus, the vehicle is being utilized to transport passengers to and from tours of the Company’s plants.

There are numerous occasions in which vehicles are used for work purposes, such as for business trips and moving around within plants. In order to reduce environmental load and conserve energy when moving from one place to another, DENSO CORPORATION is promoting the introduction of an eco-friendly people mover system that makes use of eco-friendly vehicles (BEVs, PHEVs).

We have designated November of each year as eco-driving awareness month. Throughout this month, we run internal programs to promote eco-driving and traffic safety education in a bid to raise employee awareness.
