INTRODUCTION

Toyota Boshoku’s Technological Development,
Enriching Lives Around the World.

At the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2025
we aim to showcase our core technologies in environment and safety
and to meet partners who will help us create new levels of comfort for next-generation mobility.

Experience firsthand Toyota Boshoku’s technology as an interior space creator,
embracing Quality of Time and Space, and enjoy the chance to engage with us.

Achieving both thermal comfort and energy savings

Thermal Comfort Seat

Prototype / Experimental stage

Thermal Comfort Seat

ISSUE

Future mobility need the progress of energy efficiency.

We provide the seat which contribute to progress of energy efficiency to customer.

APPROACH

For the purpose of reduce energy consumption, change the way of air conditioning and heating from throughout inside the vehicle to directly human.

Also, respond to future changes in both how people spend their time in the vehicle cabin and what makes them happy.

SOLUTION

A seat that uses various devices to contribute both directly human thermal comfort and energy savings.

Neck fan
Improves the warm feeling by directly warming the neck area, which is sensitive to temperature.

Pneumatic system
Increases warm feeling by applying pressure with an air bag.

Seat heater
Whole body warming.

Neck fan
Improves the cool feeling by directly cooling the neck area, which is sensitive to temperature.

High-performance seat ventilation system
Improves air conditioning efficiency.

Pneumatic system
Secures a gap for sucking in cold air by releasing pressure with the air bag.

Super-absorbent and quick-drying fabric
Reduces the stuffy feeling by improving breathability.

Improved resource conservation and recyclability

Mono-material
cover seat

Prototype / Experimental stage

Mono-materialcover seat

ISSUE

Need to establish environmentally friendly seat manufacturing process.

Providing customers with seats manufactured using methods that reduce eenvironmental impact.

APPROACH

Reduction of materials used by mono-materialization.

Contributing to recyclability through the development of disassemby technology.

SOLUTION

Seat with mono-materialized cover integrally molded with pads.

The molded cover enables free texture expression.

A concave-convex pattern with excellent flexibility is adopted.

Foam in place method improves freedom of design.

Improved recyclability

Mono-material
door trim

Prototype / Experimental stage

Mono-materialdoor trim

ISSUE

30 kg of resin is used in the interior of a car per vehicle, but composite matereials are scrapped.

Reducing CO2 emissions by increasing recycling rates.

APPROACH

We will unify the materials of door trims, which use a large amount of resin and are made of composite materials, into a single material while maintaining performance.

SOLUTION

Door trim made entirely of olefin-based materials for easy recycling.

By unifying materials, we will improve the recycling rate and contribute to CO2 reduction.

Efficient system control development

Model-based
development

Product / Practical stage

Model-baseddevelopment

ISSUE

System control development becomes more expensive to meet increasingly sophisticated requirements.

Design and simulation prior to ECU implementation can reduce development costs.

*MBD stands for model-based development.

*ECU stands for electronic control unit.

APPROACH

Update control models in real time through the use of MBD.

Work out every detail with the people involved.

SOLUTION

Easy-to-use assets that can be brought to device and vehicle development sites.

Activities to create a new UX (user experience).

Use of Fuel Cells to Realize a Hydrogen Society

Hydrogen Power System

Prototype / Experimental stage

Hydrogen Power System

ISSUE

Utilizing hydrogen energy is essential for a decarbonized society.

Realizing a future where hydrogen energy is integrated into everyday life.

APPROACH

We have developed our own proprietary fuel cell (FC) system, the Hydrogen Power System, which uses small water-cooled fuel FCs for a variety of items.

SOLUTION

Various items equipped with the Hydrogen Power System and our independently developed hydrogen filling machines.​

Using these products will make hydrogen energy more accessible and contribute to a hydrogen society.

Resin material that can be used repeatedly

Highly recyclable biopolymer

Planning / Idea stage

Highly recyclable biopolymer

ISSUE

Materials suitable for recycling are desired in terms of CN/CE.

Performance is maintained even when recycled (injection molding ⇔ crushing).

APPROACH

*Images is for illustrative purposes only. The actual structure may differ.

Weak sites in bonds are protected by controlling the molecular structure and suppressing degradation during recycling.

SOLUTION

Biopolymer maintaining its mechanical properties even after recycling.

In the challenge of developing new materials, he developed a new polyamide biopolymer made from inedible plant-derived raw materials.
