 At the IAA Transportation in Hanover, automotive supplier Denso is presenting not only a new low-voltage cooling system for cargo e-bikes on the "last mile," but also an electric drive system for air taxis developed jointly with Honeywell.

The cooling system for e-bikes is said to have been developed based on Denso's decades of experience (€38 billion in revenue / 168,000 employees) in heating and air conditioning technology and is equipped with networked control functions. The manufacturer also offers subsystems and components for hydrogen fuel cells, cooling modules, and battery thermal management systems. The electric drive system for air taxis, designed jointly with Honeywell, is intended to mark the provider's entry into the market for vertical mobility in urban environments.
On the path to carbon neutrality, a system will also be presented that will be operated at the Electrification Innovation Center in Anjo, Japan, and aims to capture CO2 and reuse it as an energy source.

In the 2020/2021 financial year, Denso invested ten percent of its global group sales in research and development.
