In the past, we have conducted research in collaboration with various research institutions to assess the wide-ranging impacts the automotive industry has on society and the environment. Examples of this research include predicting transportation choices and demand coinciding with changes in demographics, predicting the introduction of renewable energy resulting from the spread of electric vehicles, and assessing the energy mix in factories. We will promote the development and application of comprehensive assessment models that take into account both resource constraints and social systems as part of complex social phenomena, such as today's resource circulation and the supply-demand structure required to achieve carbon neutrality.
