Japan / Germany – Continental AG of Hanover, Germany, has opened a sales and competence centre in Yokohama, Japan for development of hydrogen hose lines for use in powertrain technologies. By strengthening its presence in Japan, the company plans not only to work more closely with local powertrain technology leaders, but also to play a more active role in transforming mobility as part of Japan's Hydrogen Society strategy.
Continental states that the Japanese government’s plans for a ‘Hydrogen Society in 2017’ makes the country an ideal candidate for technological collaboration with OEMs across the commercial vehicle sector.
