President Ito, SVP Foy discuss DENSO’s second founding

As you likely heard, we recently announced DENSO’s second founding. What does this mean? It’s our largest shift in business strategy in our 70-year history to face the rapid changes in the automotive industry, the competition, ensure future success and achieve our 2030 goals. To learn more about DENSO’s vision and commitment to becoming the leading global mobility supplier, click here for the full news release.

With the news now public, DENSO’s North America President, Ken Ito, and Senior Vice President of Engineering Bill Foy spoke with leading industry news publication Automotive News about DENSO’s transformation. Ito said it’s important for the company to innovate with new technology, but also to enhance our current offerings.

“Our question is how we can transform our commodity products by adding value,” Ito told Automotive News. “For example, the air conditioner. As it is today, it could become a commodity. But in the future, instead, it could be combined with safety functions to add value, or combined with the functions of autonomous driving. We are focused on finding new value.”

The article also shares more details about DENSO’s renewed R&D and technology focus, which includes cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Still, Foy said even as DENSO moves into new fields, it will not abandon the many product areas that have been – and still are – critical for automakers.

It is this unique expertise and capability in legacy technologies and new ones that position us well for the future and will allow us to achieve our Long-Term Policy 2030. Everyone has an important role to play in our strategy shift and as we continue to shape the future of transportation – from car sharing, to automated driving and connecting cars and cities.
