(3) Create New Businesses
NEC is promoting the development of an automotive
lithium-ion rechargeable battery business together
with Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. in the Smart Energy and
Green business—a new growth area. In fiscal 2011,
NEC commenced full-scale mass production of
electrodes, a core component of these batteries. In
addition, NEC developed networked charging
facilities linked to a cloud-based system. These
charging facilities will assist the deployment of
charging infrastructure over a wide area in support
of the uptake of electric vehicles. During the fiscal
year, NEC conducted trials aimed at enhancing the
practicality of the system and promoting
standardization of communications protocols with
cloud-based systems.
Furthermore, NEC began taking steps to enter
the smart grid market. One initiative was the
development of a large-scale energy storage
