Hitachi Astemo was created on January 1st, 2021, from the merger of Hitachi Automotive Systems with three former Honda affiliates: Nissin Kogyo, Keihin and Showa.

Building on the strength of its four founding companies, Hitachi Astemo will introduce next-generation products and technologies for motorcycles:

The booth will be divided into areas where visitors will discover an extensive range of next-generation products and technologies. These areas include:

Synergy Technologies Area

A demo motorcycle will allow visitors to experience ‘integrated control’ technologies that control ‘riding’, ‘cornering’, and ‘braking’, thanks to the advanced integration of powertrain, suspension, and brake systems, a successful combination of the technologies developed by the four merged companies.

Next-generation Powertrain Area

A concept model of the company’s powertrain system for electric motorcycles will be displayed along with other technologies and products contributing to environmental sustainability such as the ISG (Integrated Starter Generator) units for small motorcycles and injectors for large motorcycles.
