Strategic Service Knowledge (SSK) will host a seminar analyzing real EV market trends, supply chain restructuring, and technical advancements in power semiconductors and motors. The lecture will explore survival strategies for Japanese firms using cases from Toyota, Rohm, and Nidec.

The global 'broad electrification rate' (including HEVs and PHEVs) is approaching 30%. However, amid relaxed engine regulations in Europe and policy shifts in North America, some argue the EV market is stagnating. This seminar features Motohiro Kondo, Professor at Aichi Institute of Technology and METI Committee Member (formerly of Toyota), who will clarify current market realities and long-term outlooks.

The lecture covers structural changes in the auto industry due to electrification, trends in battery, motor, and inverter technologies, and the evolving business models of OEMs and suppliers. Specifically, it will highlight technical trends such as Toyota's battery development, Rohm's power semiconductors, and Nidec's motor technologies to discuss the challenges and necessary responses for Japanese companies to remain competitive. The event will be held on June 23, 2026, offering on-site attendance in Tokyo, live streaming, and a two-week archive access.
