About Us | E2A - ELECTRO-TO-AUTO FORUM

　The total number of automobiles in the world is estimated to have reached 800 million, and the number continues to increase in markets such as China and India. In terms of the magnitude of its influence on society and the economy, the automotive industry is the largest industry ? and one that has not yet stopped growing globally.

　The automotive industry is entering a new era. In addition to improving vehicle performance in those basic functions, such as "traveling", "turning", and "stopping", the automakers will have to meet even higher standards than hitherto with respect to the four main present-day themes - reducing environmental burden, ensuring further safety, improving driving comfort, and increasing reliability. These four themes are imperative for the automotive industry to pursue sustainable growth. As an answer to these challenges, electronics are being incorporated into automotive technology with increasing speed.

　With this background in mind, the Electro-to-Auto Forum website has been set up to provide the latest information on new technologies and industry trends for engineers/researchers, planners/marketers, and management executives working in the electronics and automotive industries. The information is presented in a clear and concise form, replete with specific examples. We hope that this site will serve as a bridge between the electronics and automotive industries, and that it will contribute to their further development.
