Advanced Mobility& Power Storage
For advanced mobility, It is said that the spread of CASE will be the key to achieving "carbon neutrality“. However, there are various issues that arise when trying to implement CASE, such as the need to develop higher performing electric drive systems, high-performance batteries, implementation of 5G communication, and the improvement of LiDAR’s spatial recognition performance, etc. The biggest issue with powering society with renewable energy is the lack of a constant and stable power supply since renewables are more dependent on the weather and time of day. Therefore, large-scale power storage technology is a crucial step to solving this problem. Shimadzu provides a wide range of evaluation and measurement technologies to meet the market challenges of advanced mobility and advanced power storage technology.
5G is a wireless communication system with three features: "high speed and large capacity", "multiple simultaneous connections", and "low latency".The development of materials and technologies for printed circuit boards has been accelerated as 5G services begin to be implemented all over the world.

Weight reduction development is underway to improve electricity cost performance and fuel efficiency to reduce the environmental load of automobiles. Weight reduction is also an important theme as a countermeasure against the increase in the number of ECU units and battery weight due to the shift to EV. For weight reduction development, many kinds of new technologies are used such as high tensile strength steel, aluminum alloy, composite materials (GFRP / CFRP) and dissimilar materials joining for multi material. In the process of developing these technologies, various measurements are carried out such as testing, analysis, and observation. Useful evaluation technologies for development of weight reduction are introduced in this session.
