OTTO
Use of electric vehicles
OTTO continually reviews employee housing, believing the distance between home and the workplace should not exceed 15 kilometers. One reason to keep that distance as short as possible is to promote the use of electric bicycles for commuting. Even when car or bus shuttle services are provided, OTTO encourages eco-friendly driving methods that keep the engine revolutions and torque down.
AMERICAN ENGINEERING CORPORATION (OKINAWA)
Promoting adoption of hybrid cars
AMERICAN ENGINEERING CORPORATION started using hybrid cars in 2018. Hybrid cars are considered to be environmentally sound vehicles that are eco-friendly because they emit less than half the amount of carbon dioxide of standard cars. They are effectively powered using both a gasoline engine and an electric motor, so they use less than half the volume of gasoline as that consumed by ordinary cars.
Going forward, we will continue to actively promote the adoption of hybrid cars in our fleets of company cars.
We will continue to actively promote the introduction of hybrid cars for company vehicles.
