 Stepping Toward Carbon-Neutrality

In the spring of 2020, with fewer cars on

the road because of the pandemic,
emissions decreased in many of the The Biden administration has since set the
world’s largest cities. Now, governments aggressive goal of transitioning to carbon-
and other organizations are building on free electricity by 2030 and achieving a

mobility that is not only sustainable but bring mobility into the future more
also socially and economically beneficial. precedent.

 Powering Sustainability in Transportation

As all these changes take place and

passengers return to road, rail, air and sea,
Hitachi is working with governments and
industry leaders to help transportation
operators integrate the technology and
data needed to become more sustainable
and efficient. Electric vehicles (EVs) and
fleets, and public transit will be a big part
of the transformation.

 Creating a Future for Electric Vehicles
Growing consumer awareness about environmental issues are creating a powerful market for EVs across private and
public transport. Analysts predict that by 2030, there will be more than 100 million EVs on the road 2.

Creating a Future for Electric Vehicles

Hitachi is leveraging its expertise in digital technology solutions to accommodate this

growth, build a greener grid, and achieve better transmission capacity.

Hitachi is working to power data analytics that capture information from vehicles and
charging stations and can provide answers to key questions such as : Where should we
locate EV chargers? What’s the best time to charge my vehicle? And is the electrical grid
up to this task? If not, what is needed to bring it up to par?

Hitachi Energy’s Grid-eMotion™ Fleet provides a reliable, cost-effective way to charge

large fleets of commercial or public transit vehicles, which are expected to be early
adopters of EV technology. Coupled with the company’s digital capabilities in the area of
asset and energy management, Grid-eMotion Fleet can enhance the sustainability of the
grid by supporting the rapid shift toward vehicle electrification.

Leveraging Data for a Seamless Multimodal Transportation

Transformation in Mass Transit Systems

Consider a passenger who starts a trip to the workplace by taking a train from a suburb
to a central station, then gets on another form of transportation — and perhaps even
another. This journey with multiple means of public transport is fragmented, requiring
the passenger to pay separate fares from one system to another.

Hitachi is working in collaboration with public transit operators to implement easier multimodal transfer
solutions bringing the customer experience into the future. Hitachi believes that the key to successful
implementation of smart transit systems is to create an experience in accordance with the customer’s
convenience.

Also, by leveraging real-time data, Hitachi is helping transit operators base their service on demand and
not just on the number of available vehicles in a fixed schedule. In this way, they can surge the number of
trains to increase capacity, prevent crowding and ensure reliable seamless service.

Summary: Electrification for a Cleaner Future

 Hitachi is actively collaborating with governments and industry

leaders to accelerate the adoption of EVs for private and public
transport and assisting transportation operators in integrating the
relevant technology and data to become more efficient and
sustainable.
 Hitachi is also innovating with public transit operators to implement
easier multimodal transfer solutions, bringing the customer
experience into the future.
 Communities of tomorrow will continue to draw on connectivity-
enabled, environmentally conscious technology such as rail and EVs
to move people and freight, and Hitachi will continue to contribute its
expertise as it pursues its mission to power good.
