Continental Engineering Services successfully concluded its participation at this year’s JSAE Automotive Engineering Exposition, held from May 21–23, 2025 at the Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center. As part of the UK Pavilion, CES welcomed hundreds of visitors to Stand N86, where the team showcased the company’s latest advancements in electrification and power electronics.
The JSAE Automotive Engineering Exposition is Japan’s leading event for automotive innovation, attracting engineers, researchers, and industry leaders from around the world. At the Yokohama exhibition, visitors experienced a wide variety of content, including JSAE special exhibits, technical presentations, and exhibitor booths from major players across the mobility sector.
Strong Interest in Scalable Power Electronics
This year’s spotlight was on CES’s next-generation power electronics portfolio, with special interest in the 800V SiC Inverter and 48V Inverter systems, which attracted engineers and decision-makers looking for high-efficiency, scalable solutions to support a range of electrification projects.
“These systems represent the future of e-mobility—where high performance and energy efficiency meet compact, modular design,” Yohei Yamaoka, Manager Driveline and Electrification.
Twin Motor Controller and DCDC Technologies
Another highlight was the TMC (Twin Motor Controller)aerodynamic rear wing, designed for use with existing production hardware, offering high levels of seamless control in this and other demanding applications. Visitors also explored CES’s broad portfolio of DCDC converters, geared starter generators, and custom electronics solutions, which support various levels of hybrid and electric platforms.
A Hub for Innovation and Collaboration
The CES team engaged in numerous discussions with partners and new contacts across the three-day event, demonstrating how CES supports OEMs and startups alike—from concept development and prototyping to series production.
Further demonstrators will apply the DBM to live driving functions, examine its performance in urban automation, and assess its impact on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), ensuring practical applicability and robustness in real-world contexts.
“We were thrilled by the level of interest and the depth of technical conversations at this year’s JSAE,” said Neil Cheeseman, Chief Engineer – Electric Drivetrain & Propulsion Functions. “Japan continues to be a hub for electrification innovation, and CES is proud to contribute its expertise and solutions to this dynamic market.”
