Electric vehicles have the problems of low energy efficiency and environmental impact due to their heavy batteries. We are conducting research on dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) as a game-change solution to these problems. DWPT is a large system involving a lot of fields, such as infrastructure, vehicles, and road constructs. Then we are conducting a wide range of research on, not only overall system design of DWPT but also the elements that consists of the system, such as coil design. In addition, we are challenging a new field that combines electrical engineering and civil engineering, which have never crossed paths before.

We are engaged in research on the design and control of in-wheel motors, which can dramatically improve control performance and system efficiency by placing the motors inside the wheels. We are also proposing a new drive system that combines a variable flux magnet and WPT to reduce loss at high speeds and are engaged in a wide range of research related to electrical equipment, from systems to materials.
