TRANSCRIPT
Developed an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve unit, a major component of EGR
systems that helps make diesel engine emissions cleaner. The new unit, the first in the
world to integrate an air intake throttle valve and an EGR valve, which are usually installed
separately in vehicles, is half the size of conventional models and reduces costs by
20%. The air intake throttle valve controls the amount of air entering the engine and
the EGR valve controls the amount of exhaust gas to be recirculated into the engine.
Honored with the 2013 Nikkei Excellent Products & Services Award for Excellence in
recognition of the intelligent-Accuracy Refinement Technology (i-ART) feedback injec-
tion control system, a computer that controls common rail systems. The i-ART
feedback injection control system controls fuel injection precision to within 1mm3 in
volume and 1 / 100,000 of a second in timing. The Toyota Hilux, launched in Brazil in
2012, was the first mass production vehicle featuring i-ART to greet the world. The
awards recognize the technological development, growth potential, innovativeness, and
industry/social impact of the i-ART feedback injection control system.
Developed a new diesel common rail (DCR) fuel injection system with the world's
highest level of injection pressure at 2,500 bars. Compared with the Company's
previous 2,000 bar system, the new system can help increase fuel efficiency by up to
3% while also reducing hazardous substance particulate matter (PM) by up to 50%
and nitrogen oxides (NOx) by up to 8%, contributing to lower fuel costs and less
environmental impact. The new DCR fuel injection system is part of Volvo's new
Drive-E powertrains in Europe.

Fiscal 2014 Topics
Powertrain Control Systems
In fiscal 2014, sales increased considerably compared with the previous fiscal year, buoyed
by a higher production volume at Japanese automakers and a recovery in China.

Results for Fiscal 2014 and Growth Strategies
Sales expanded for inverters used in hybrid vehicles made by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.
(Pathfinder) and Mazda Motor Corporation (Axela).
Commenced production at a third newly constructed plant at PT. DENSO INDONESIA in
February 2014, in order to keep pace with expanding automobile production in Indo-
nesia. The new plant produces engine control products, including engine electronic
control units (ECUs) and variable cam timing (VCT) control systems, as well as
starters and alternators.
Decided to expand operations at the DENSO Mexico S.A. de C.V. (DNMX) manufactur-
ing facility in Silao in order to meet expanding production of automobiles in Mexico.
The Company will put in place a new manufacturing line for alternators with produc-
tion scheduled to commence from October 2014. Construction on the Silao Plant, the
third for DNMX, broke ground in March 2012. The plant started manufacturing
heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units in November 2013 and radia-
tors and washer systems in January 2014.
Built an evaluation facility to strengthen the development of power electronics
products, such as inverters used in hybrid vehicles worldwide, on the site of the Anjo
Plant. The facility began participating in the development and evaluation of these
products in April 2014.
Established a production company in Cambodia, the Company's first presence there, as
part of efforts to enhance the production and supply framework in the ASEAN region. In
July 2013, production of sensor components for ignition magnetos (starters for motor-
cycles) commenced. Plans call for steadily expanding production to other products.

Main Products
In fiscal 2015, to meet environmental regulations around the world, we will provide innova-
tive world-first products that improve internal combustion fuel efficiency. Specifically, we will
contribute to greater fuel economy and higher efficiency in internal combustion engines by
increasing sales of gasoline direct injection systems and diesel common rail systems. In the
field of electric motors, in addition to expanding sales of essential hybrid components such as
motor generators and inverters, we will pursue miniaturization and cost reduction in these
products. We will also leverage our core technologies and experience in the fields of starters,
alternators, engine cooling systems, and semiconductors to develop new products including
battery packs that make full use of our proprietary technologies. In aftermarket business for
products including iridium plugs, we plan to invest in cost-competitive products suited to
market needs and products with our proprietary technology at the core.
