Responding to new trends in mobility services and expanding our earnings base

In the motor vehicles field, in addition to the export and import of vehicles and parts, the Mobility Business Unit I has established upstream through downstream value chains across its entire operating area, which encompasses logistics, production, wholesale, retail sales, financing, leasing, and rental services. We also focus on expanding our business base to offer a stable supply of transportation services that serve a wide variety of customers and respond to their changing needs, such as town creation and electrification (EV / FCV) with low environmental load, the shift from owning products to using services, and the sharing economy. Leveraging this business platform, through operating independently or together with strategic business partners, we move to secure a stable earnings base and globalize our human resources.

In the construction and mining field, we conduct sales, aftersales service, financing, and rental operations around the globe. We have developed a machinery sales business for machine tools, industrial robots and agricultural equipment, and a business focused on the technological advancement and automation of construction, industrial machinery and mining equipment to cope with increased demand for infrastructure all over the world. We also operate a domestic construction machinery rental business and a business selling service robots.
