東芝、フォードに供給 ハイブリッド車専用 米に新工場 基幹部品の競争激化
According to sources,Toshiba Corporation has decided to supply U.S. automobile company Ford Motor Co. with driving motors, which are exclusively used for hybrid cars and key parts for such type of vehicles,on a large -lot-scale basis. Specifically,Toshiba will build a new plant in the U.S. for producing the motors, which will be scheduled to be installed in new Ford cars expected to be mass-produced from 2012. Judging that the demand for vehicle motors including those for electricity cars will be increasing, Toshiba has forestalled other electricity machinery makers in expading the business.
