At DENSO, we work to improve the three basic
functions of the automobile: moving, turning,
and stopping. In addition, we strive to enhance
the driving experience for people worldwide.
This means minimizing the adverse effects of
vehicles, such as environmental degradation
and traffic accidents, while providing the
convenience, the comfort, and the other benefits
of motor transport.
As a leading automotive supplier, we strive
to help shape a world where people, the

Products for fuel cell vehicles, the
next generation environmentally-
friendly vehicles
DENSO developed a new fuel cell monitoring unit,
pressure sensor, and hydrogen-charging electronic
control unit (ECU) in 2014 using technologies from
developing hybrid vehicle components. Our products and
technologies such as power control unit, cooling module
and cooling pump are used in “Mirai,” Toyota Motor
Corporation’s fuel cell vehicle.

Providing the right information,
in the right place, at the right time
The head-up display (HUD) is a technology that takes
the vehicle speed, various critical warnings, and other
information needed in driving and displays it on the
windshield. This allows the driver to get information
quickly while driving, without having to make large
movements in the line of sight. This provides the driver
with greater safety and assurance and is expected to help
reduce accidents.
DENSO is working toward commercializing the TFT* liquid
crystal HUD in 2017. Aiming to improve the visibility, we
plan to produce 20-inch (50.8cm) models that will be the
world's largest HUD for use in cars.
