Recommended participation
Japan, a latecomer to the automobile industry, has grown through post-war reconstruction and rapid economic growth, becoming a global leader. As a testament to Japan's technological prowess, major manufacturers have begun to compete in and win the world's three major races (Formula 1, Le Mans, and IndyCar). To achieve this, vehicle design (the comprehensive design of the body, chassis, power unit, operability, etc.) is essential, and has remained unchanged since the past. This exhibition will introduce technologies that Japan has been able to boast to the world up until now, technologies aimed at a sustainable society in the future, and technologies filled with dreams and hopes.
