About Hitachi EMEA

Hitachi is positioned as a leader in Climate Change Innovation, finding new pathways to net zero through our world-leading businesses in key sectors including Energy, Transportation, Manufacturing and Digital.  Since our inception in 1910, our mission has been centred around Social Innovation – making society better through advanced technology – supported by our R&D centres across the world.  Some examples of our contribution to Climate Change Innovation include:

• Battery hybrid trains – decarbonising rail transport even in areas where the rail infrastructure is only partially electrified

• Electric vehicle fleet charging – delivering sophisticated smart charging and battery management technology for charging fleets of electric trucks, buses and vans

• Utility scale grid infrastructure – including our HVDC technology that connects Dogger Bank to the UK mainland grid and enables the UK to trade green energy with Norway via the North Sea Link

• Microgrid solutions – enabling large energy consumers such as marine ports, factories and data centres, to engineer additional green power ‘behind-the-meter’ for their net zero transition using on-site renewable generation and energy storage

• Marine Port solutions – enabling ships to plug into the onshore power system when they arrive in port, to avoid burning fuel to generate their own electricity

• AI & IoT based solutions – using Digital technology to unlock new pathways in Energy, Transportation and Manufacturing to drive efficiency and decarbonisation

Hitachi EMEA represents all the businesses in the Hitachi Group and drives growth by taking a regional approach and focusing on opportunities for ‘One Hitachi’ to help drive the energy transition and net zero.
