AESC is a manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries for automotive applications. The company emphasizes carbon-neutral manufacturing processes, showcasing a commitment to sustainability in their production methods. AESC was founded as a joint venture between Nissan and the NEC Group, and they started mass-producing lithium-ion batteries for the "Nissan Infiniti M Hybrid" in October 2010 and for the "Nissan Leaf", a 100% electric vehicle (EV), in November of that same year. Since then, electric and hybrid vehicles equipped with batteries from AESC have been used by numerous customers worldwide, and AESC's batteries have established an excellent reputation for their performance, quality, and reliability. Electric vehicles can contribute significantly to improving both the global environment and regional environments because they emit no CO2 or other exhaust gases while operating and they generate very little sound while driving. In addition, the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power and new aspects such as emergency power supplies are also attracting attention. On the other hand, various issues remain with electric vehicles including price, cruising range, and the need to establish a charging infrastructure. With the cooperation of automakers and material and parts suppliers, AESC will continue to endeavor to improve the high-quality level of their products further, reduce costs, and increase energy density and capacity, and they will strive to be a world leader in lithium-ion batteries for automotive applications.
