Abstract
Aisin AW Co., Ltd. was established in 1969 from Japanese and
American investment as a new company specializing in automatic
transmission (AT) manufacture. Aiming to reach and overtake the
Western advanced technology while "pursuing the essence of the
role of ATs within the whole vehicle system", it has since
achieved its goal of becoming the world's No. 1 AT
manufacturing company.
In 1985, Aisin AW established a research and development lab for
the development for new products other than ATs. Operating under
the motto of creating a single, attractive basic design concept
layout while "pursuing the essence of the role of the vehicle
within society", this lab developed the world's first
voice navigation system (VNS), an innovative, creative product born
from our company's exclusive product concept. Aisin AW is now
achieving the biggest share of the vehicle navigation system market
in Japan
