◎Outline of Keynote Speech "Next-generation regional transportation
realized from DX in the taxi industry" Lecturer: Mr. Yosuke Kondo, CEO
and Founder of Denno Kotsu,Inc.
In 2016, President Kondo, who is a lecturer, launched Denno Kotsu,
which converts taxi dispatch operations into DX, while rebuilding a taxi
company in Tokushima Prefecture. Currently, taxi operators in 43
prefectures have introduced this dispatch system. 1) Cloud-based vehicle
dispatch system 2) Outsourcing of vehicle dispatch call center
operations 3) Regional transportation solutions are the core of our
business. Regarding the conversion of taxis to EVs, we will work with
Daiichi Kotsu Sangyo to develop and demonstrate a system for optimizing
the operation and power supply of EV taxis as a project adopted by NEDO.
He encouraged the students who participated in the contest, saying, "I
want you to cherish your time and encounters and nurture your proposals"
◎Chairperson of the Screening Committee Dr. Fujiwara
The reason why we named the contest title "Society" this time is that
EVs are not just a means of transportation or a means of solving energy
problems, but we also wanted young people with promising futures to come
up with ideas for tackling social issues.
As intended, we received wonderful proposals from the 12 finalists.
We were asked to identify social issues in Japan and the world, and to
come up with unprecedented ideas to solve those issues. Technologies
such as Metaverse, Life Science, and Chemistry were proposed as
supporting technologies for realizing ideas.
Sakai Mobility Systems team has a wonderful idea of farming using EVs to
increase Japan's food self-sufficiency rate. Let's support young people
together!

Contest overview +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
◎Title:"Social EV" Design Contest for International Students 2022
◎Purpose:To foster interdisciplinary talent that will lead the next
generation through research on social design
and EV possibilities. We call this interdisciplinary talent "an
architect", and the development of this sort of human resource is the
highlight of this contest. An architect is a person who has a vision and
insight beyond the scope of design and engineering and the profession in
the area of cars.
In this year's contest, the theme was set as "Proposal for 'Social
Design and EV ' 2040" with a clear deadline. We concluded that the role
of EVs should not be viewed simply as a mobile vehicle, but rather as a
form of mobility that is essential to people's lives, and that it should
be a contest that considers what it means to enrich people's lives.
