The organization will hold a seminar titled "EMC Performance of In-Vehicle Devices as Considered by Automobile Manufacturers" on September 16, 2026 (Wednesday), featuring lecturers from Toyota Motor Corporation, Hino Motors, Ltd., and Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. In addition to presentations from the three companies, a leading expert on in-vehicle device EMC from our organization will introduce the latest topics. Furthermore, after the seminar, a technical exchange meeting will be held, allowing participants, lecturers, and our organization's technical staff to exchange information. In recent years, the acceleration of autonomous driving, connectivity, and electrification technologies has been aimed at achieving carbon neutrality and evolving mobility. Within this context, it is anticipated that the demands for EMC in electric vehicles (xEV) and fuel cell vehicles (FCV), particularly regarding the electrification of powertrains and EV components, will be stronger than ever. In this seminar, we will invite EMC experts from automobile manufacturers to explain the latest trends in standards regarding the "EMC performance required for in-vehicle devices" to suppliers. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.
