Sanyo together with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. and Mitsui O.S.K.
Lines, Ltd. joins in the research of Hybrid Car Carrier using Natural
Energy. The company in order to reduce its carbon footprint has started
expanding its energy solution business. They have also begun the race
to cut down on running costs of facilities like factories and stores by
using Smart Energy Systems. Sanyo has also introduced a system that
helps marine vessels reduce CO2 emissions by using photovoltaic systems
and lithium-ion battery systems or by combining solar panels with
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. This system is a hybrid one using
diesel and providing marine vessels with electrical power. Power
generated when the vessel is docked can be stored in the batteries and
used in the harbor instead of diesel. The Hybrid Car Carrier will use
this system and will be completed in 2012.
