Research & Development Center Celebrates the 60th Anniversary
Global Research Facilities That Support Our Technology
Food supply has become a global issue due to recent increases in population and energy demands. We face the challenge of securing sustainable energy sources and ensuring an efficient food supply, whilst protecting against global warming.
The key to solving these issues is energy diversification, as well as the more effective use of energy. In addition, we must also develop fisheries using biotechnology.
In order to explore the advanced technologies required for the next generation, we at Yanmar are hard at work on research and development focusing on the future.
Research & Development Center
In February 2000, the Yanmar Group opened our Central Research Institute in the beautiful environment of Maibara City, Shiga Prefecture, as our core center for research and development.
During construction, there was an emphasis on harmony with the environment and a desire to create an emission-less structure that incorporated a philosophy of recycling. The center was fitted out with advanced research equipment that utilizes the latest in Information Technology.
At the Central Research Institute, we are conducting research concerning various aspects of energy and its applications.
