  Next, Let me explain to you Isuzu's advanced technology on environment. Technological exhibits feature the next generation highly efficient engine, "D-CORE" Series that have elevated environmental performance and economic performance to yet another high level and aftertreatment systems that decontaminate PM and NOx before a tail pipe.
  For "D-CORE" Series, with an eye to achieving both "environmental performance" and "economic performance", Isuzu integrated and realized simultaneously "optimal combustion technology", "aftertreatment technology" and "electronic control technology". In doing so, we increased the engine power and torque per displacement (liter) to the highest possible level while pursued a lightweight and compact engine. As a result, we successfully improved required engine performance - fuel consumption and weight - across the board.
  The increase of environmental performance of the engine itself and minimization of burden to after- treatment system are critical for meeting next environmental regulation that calls for emissions whose contaminant quantity is similar to that in the air. Isuzu displays "next-generation urea SCR" to demonstrate our research results to date. We intend to develop practical environmental technology from global standpoint in keeping with engine development.
  Going forward, more stringent emission regulations will take effect in Europe, North America and Japan. At present, people say the needs for "environment", "resources conservation" and "low cost" may bring about drastic change to business and competitive environments in commercial vehicle and diesel engine industry. Prices of diesel engines have been on the rise year after year with addition of turbo, common rail, EGR and aftertreatment devices. Yet, there will be no future for a diesel engine, if its better economic performance - its strength - is undermined because of the need to satisfy environmental performance.   Isuzu intends by all means to resolve the "cost issue" while developing advanced technology. Expect us to successfully undertake our activity to become a "Global Life Partner".
  Other exhibits include transmissions of Smoother Series that enhance economic and safety performance and "Mimamori-Kun On-Line Service", the software that supports driver's driving technique and helps reduce fuel consumption. All in all, Isuzu as a Global Life Partner displays products that contribute to peoples' wellbeing. Today, at this booth, many Isuzu staff is ready to answer your questions. I hope you would take this opportunity to acknowledge and understand to full extent the cutting-edge technology of Isuzu.

  Isuzu aims to be a global leading company in commercial vehicles and diesel engines. To that end, we believe our mission is to stay mindful of the latest technology and global trend and to provide products beneficial to customers. We would like to offer products and services contributing to logistics that support peoples' lives.
  We promise here Isuzu will tackle more challenges to be a "Global Life Partner", to support "transport" across the globe and to be essential for people's lives worldwide. This concludes press briefing from Isuzu Motors Limited. Thank you for your attention.
