Denso will open a new office in Minato-ku, Tokyo in April 2018 to conduct research and development (R&D) on advanced driver assistance systems, automated driving and connected vehicles. The new facility will collaborate with partners that align with its widespread adoption of safety technologies that aim to play a key role in the advancement of future mobility.
The office will enable Denso to work globally with universities, research institutes, startups and other partners to develop new technologies and carry out business ideas for more competitive products.
Additionally, Denso will transfer part of the R&D functions in its head office in Aichi Prefecture and existing Tokyo office to the new facility and expand its workforce through the early 2020s.
