Mitsubishi Electric has recently supplied 7,946 photovoltaic
modules to Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd., which manages Tokyo International Airport (Haneda), for installation on the roofs of the two domestic passenger terminals and of the airport car parks.
Using lead-free solder the environmentally-friendly solar panels will
generate 1,246 kW of electricity and are expected to reduce annual
carbon dioxide emissions at the airport by 364 tons.
Mitsubishi Electric’s solar panel system was chosen for its
proven track record in terms of
low environmental impact and
of high quality and reliability. The
company will be boosting its
lineup of solar panels as it seeks
to expand their use in both
public and industrial sectors. |

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation launched its new
Canter light-duty truck line on the Japanese market in November
2010. The first full model change in eight years, the new Canter
places top priority on environmental performance. The new
Canter incorporates a light and highly efficient three-liter “4P10”
diesel engine with low fuel consumption; the BlueTec® emissions
reduction system combining a urea selective catalytic reduction
(SCR) system and regeneration-control diesel particulate filter (DPF),
adopted in a light-duty truck for the first time in Japan; and the
DUONIC™ dual-clutch transmission, the first ever use of this type of
transmission in a commercial truck in
the world. The newly developed 4P10
diesel engine and BlueTec® emissions
reduction system help to make it the
first Japanese light-duty truck to meet
Japan’s JP09 Post New Long-Term
Emission Regulations and achieving
class-topping fuel consumption. The
new Canter will start rolling out in
export markets in 2011.

conventional lighting, the environmentally-friendly LED bulbs
are expected to find widespread use in both residential and
commercial applications. MKM plans to introduce its Verbatim
range of LED light
bulbs in America

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) began construction in
October 2010 of a new wind turbine manufacturing plant in
Fort Smith, Arkansas. When completed, the plant will turn out
nacelles for wind turbines. Nacelles are where the generating
components, gearbox, and drive train are housed. On startup,
the facility will produce 250 units annually, capable of generating
a total of 600,000 kW of electricity. MHI is Japan’s largest general
manufacturer of large wind turbines and has been involved in the
development, manufacture and supply of wind power generating
equipment since it delivered its first plant in 1980. MHI entered the
U.S. market in 1987, where the company has since delivered 3,300
wind turbines.
