Core research at Keihin takes place at the Tochigi
R&D Center. This work is coordinated flexibly with the Kakuda R&D Center and Kawasaki
R&D Center for advanced research and development projects, focusing on creative
and innovative technology. The Tochigi R&D Center implements a comprehensive research
and analysis program, conducting software development and inspection while performing
system development. The Kakuda R&D Center concentrates on the development of core
products which support overall systems, while working on production technology
and quality enhancements to improve performance, durability and economy. The main
themes at the Kawasaki R&D Center consist of a wide range of specialized research
to develop fuel supply devices and systems. Technology resulting from individual
research projects is effectively integrated in a timely manner to improve prototype
production efficiency and speed up the pace of development. We are striving for
the further systemization and increase in functions for the environmental, safety
and comfort factors of our products, thus meeting the most important requirements
of the automobile industry in the future. |

| Keihin also uses its pursuit of high performance, efficiency
and safety in an aggressive effort to develop low-emission products to preserve
our precious environment. Advanced Keihin technology is contributing to new projects
with priority on the global environment such as low emission vehicles which reduce
harmful substances in exhaust gas to the absolute minimum, natural gas vehicles
which run on compressed natural gas, hybrid vehicles with motor assist and the
electronic fuel injection system for motorcycles, outboard motors and general
purpose engines. Ever since Keihin became the first to comply with the Muskie
Act in the U.S. which established the world's strictest exhaust gas emission regulations
in 1972 with the CVCC low emission engine, Keihin has continued its pursuit of
research and development to create the ideal harmony between people, automobiles
and the environment. |
