Responding to new trends in the mobility domain and expanding our earnings base

Automobile field: In the automobile field, we have established end-to-end value chains in each region, from upstream to downstream, covering everything from the import and export of vehicles and parts to logistics, manufacturing, wholesale, retail, finance, leasing, and rental. In recent years, the automotive industry has been undergoing a major transformation. The business environment is changing rapidly, with trends such as electrification (EVs/FCVs) and decarbonization and recent adjustments in those trends, the evolution of vehicles through connected technologies and software, and developments in supply chain reorganization and the circular economy. While closely monitoring these changes and preparing for uncertainties, we accurately capture them, strengthen our circular business models through leasing, rental, and used car distribution, and provide mobility options and related services that meet the diversifying needs of our customers. In the commercial vehicle segment, we are developing businesses that combine sales with leasing, maintenance, and fleet management to build a stable business foundation that supports logistics and transportation, and to expand our earnings. By leveraging these strong business foundations and participating in business management with our strategic partners in Japan and overseas, we are establishing a sustainable earnings base and promoting the development of globally competent human resources.

Construction, mining, and industrial machinery field: In the construction and mining machinery field, in addition to sales, after-sales service, financing, and rental of machinery, we are also developing ICT-driven construction hat utilizes advanced technologies such as automation and remote operation, as well as data, to contribute to improving on-site productivity and safety.

In the industrial machinery field, we are engaged in the sales of machine tools, industrial robots, and agricultural machinery. Additionally, through our investment in a precision machine tool manufacturer, we are strengthening our system for globally supplying high-performance machinery and semiconductor-related equipment, and expanding our sales base overseas.
