Demo Car
Project
Asahi Kasei’s state-of-the-art automotive solutions are equipped in our Demo Car. Experience the future.
Concept
Through our Demo Car we like our customers to experience the performance of AK cutting-edge solutions for cars of today and tomorrow.
The video clips on our page will give you an impression of the various solutions and in-car experiments we have created. All products are well integrable in today’s relevant vehicle standard.
Please come to Tokyo and experience it. We are starting the Demo Car Project from Japan, and then expand this activity to the world.
Sensing Solutions
Three Solutions
Extending EV driving distance
Extending EV driving distance
The sensor monitors the concentration of CO2 in the cabin and switches between the internal environment and fresh air intake to uphold appropriate levels of CO2 while decreasing power consumption.
Drunk driving prevention
Drunk driving prevention
The level of alcohol concentration in the air can be measured simply by breathing on the steering wheel and it can assess when a driver is intoxicated.
Detection of children left behind
Detection of children left behind
By measuring the concentration of CO2 within the cabin of a parked car, the sensor can detect if a child has been left behind and send an alert to a smartphone or other device.
Audio Management Solutions
Fully relax on the road with passive and active solutions for noise reduction
We can reduce the noise of a wide range of frequencies with active noise cancelation technology from our original ICs and passive sound absorbing technologies from materials.
Applying a thin layer of Precisé™ to textiles and surfaces in the cabin for an overall cost reduction and lightweighting of the vehicle.
Applying a thin layer of Precisé™ to textiles and surfaces in the cabin for an overall cost reduction and lightweighting of the vehicle.
Precisé™ is a thin and lightweight fabric that can dramatically increase the sound absorption of surface materials. Less sound absorption material is required which makes textiles thinner and lighter weight, and in some cases significantly reduce costs.
A moldable foam-formed, sound absorbing engineering plastic that can be applied to many different vehicle parts.

SunForce™ AM is a foam resin made of macaroni-shaped polyamide beads that can be molded by foam styrole molding machines. Its outstanding heat resistance and rigid strength is paired with exceptional sound absorption in a way that can be utilized from the power train to the lightweighting and increased performance of a vast array of vehicle parts.
This extremely lightweight noise-reducing solution cancels unwanted noise with sound waves.
Our EOC can reduce uncomfortable engine noises within the 100 Hz wavelength range. This
cancels noise via sound waves rather than insulators or dampening materials, so it can contribute to
the overall lightweighting of the vehicle.
In addition, our Active Road Noise Canceller (ARNC) that can reduce road noise and create a serene in-cabin atmosphere is also currently in production. (To be ready in Q2 2022.)
Our Digital Sound Processor (DSP) can let you orchestrate your own immersive audio experience in the vehicle cabin. The Engine Sound Creator (ESC) creates realistic sounds by utilizing the Controller Area Network (CAN) for things like speed or acceleration so that passengers can still enjoy the realistic sound of an engine despite being in an EV or HV. The Audio Effects can optimize a natural sound environment for every seat and allow you to orchestrate a realistic audio experience.
Our Digital Signal Processor (DSP) has high-quality voice processing technology that can make the in-car experience more convenient. Voice commands can be used to control different vehicle functions so that the driver's full attention can remain on the road. Safety is optimized with our hands-free echo-canceling/noise suppression technology that allows comfortable in-car communication with other passengers in any seat in the vehicle without having to take your eyes off the road. No need to mute the audio or turn your head to speak to people in the back seat.
