Abstract
1) Power Electronic Technologies will be more important for the next generation of automobiles.
2) Hybrid technology is a core technology for the evolution of the ultimate eco-car, because it reduces CO2 emissions so greatly. As hybrid vehicles become popular, even more semiconductors will be required in the near future.
3) Great expectations are held for the SiC-Inverter.
4) Toyota's in-house development technology is an essential resource for Toyota's strength.
