Leveraging strengths cultivated in Tier 1 business to challenge the future of automotive development as a proposal-oriented system supplier

Toru Kamioke
Head of Electrification Business Division

The Electrification Business Division is continuously pursuing technological innovation and business expansion to meet the rapidly growing and evolving markets, such as EVs and SDVs, in preparation for the future of automotive development.

At the core of this approach is the integration of hardware and software. By combining the hardware expertise cultivated through our manufacturing experience with the latest software technologies, we aim to become a system supplier capable of providing complete vehicle systems, including both In-Car and Out-Car. Furthermore, building on the strong relationships of trust established with automobile manufacturers through our Tier 1 business, we define and propose vehicle specifications from the manufacturer’s perspective, while also providing services in the Out-Car domain utilizing cloud technologies, thereby fulfilling our role as a comprehensive, proposal-oriented system supplier.

To accelerate these efforts, Astemo established a new company, Astemo Cypremos, in November 2024 to focus on software and cloud services. This will further strengthen our capabilities in the In-Car domain while also leading the transformation of digital engineering in the Out-Car domain. In addition, in July 2025 we decided to establish a new production line for next-generation EV inverters at our U.K. plant, further enhancing our competitiveness in the EV market.

Through developing next-generation vehicles that enable safe, free, and eco-friendly mobility, we continue to pursue innovation aimed at building a sustainable society and enriching people’s lives.
