Electrification contributes to Driving and Control Performance Improvements and CO₂ Reductions

Driving and control systems that drive an alternator with an engine and supplies the generated power to wheel motors via a control cabinet. Dump Trucks are active in the global resource mining fields, to improve the driving and control performance, maintainability, and reduce operating costs. these also contribute to the improvement of environmental performance, including the reduction of CO₂ emissions.
In particular, Dump Trucks with trolley system receive power directly from the pantograph under overhead lines and improve driving performance with reduced engine load and is contribute greatly to reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by improving.

Contribute to reduce CO₂ Emissions by supplying Compressor at Blue & Green Ammonia plants

Since ammonia does not emit CO₂ during combustion, it is expected to become an effective means of carbon neutral in the future by promoting the use of ammonia as an alternative fuel for power generation and marine fuel.
Ammonia is produced by synthetic reaction of hydrogen and nitrogen, but a large amount of CO₂ is also generated when hydrogen is produced by decomposing the hydrocarbon of the raw material.
Blue Ammonia*¹ and Green Ammonia*², which do not emit CO₂ in atmosphere in ammonia production process and are known as clean fuel, are going to be widely introduced soon.
We will contribute to reduce CO₂ emissions by supplying compressors to the Blue & Green Ammonia plants.

*1 Blue Ammonia : Ammonia produced without CO₂ emission in atmosphere by CCS and so on, against CO₂ produced in the conventional ammonia production process.

*2 Green Ammonia : Ammonia produced by renewable energy

Contributing to a carbon‑neutral society with high‑capacity ultra‑fast charging, multi‑port support, and V2X capability.

For realization of a carbon-neutral society, global shift from engine vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) is underway. However, there is a urgent need to expand charging infrastructure as congestion in charging area frequently occurs in highway and parking areas. as the number of EVs with large capacity batteries and large commercial EVs is expected to increase in the future, there is a need for EV chargers that meet these quick charging requirement. Large capacity, Ultra fast, Multi-Port EV Charger developed by Hitachi Industrial Products is capable to satisfy these requirements supporting V2X^*1 compatibility enables EVs to be used as storage batteries, and contributes to grid stabilization.

^*1: V2X (Vehicle to Everything) is a power transfer technology that connects vehicles with various items for mutual linkage.

Efforts to Reduce CO₂ Emissions Through Commuter Vehicles

By installing a multi‑port EV charger capable of connecting up to 80 vehicles and charging 20 simultaneously in our workplace parking area, we have introduced a system that allows employees to charge their EVs during working hours. This creates an environment where employees can use EVs even without home charging facilities, enhancing employee satisfaction while promoting CO₂ reduction from commuting.
Furthermore, we aim to expand these efforts to include energy management and integration with local power networks, accelerating our initiatives toward achieving carbon neutrality.
