About Hitachi's Business Group

Hitachi ZeroCarbon is a technology company on a mission to accelerate the global transition to zero carbon today, in order to pioneer the world of tomorrow.

We simplify the whole decarbonisation process so you can focus on delivering for your customers.

Through a long-term partnership, we develop your EV transition strategy, charge your fleet, finance and extend the life of your batteries and decarbonise your entire depot.

This allows you to generate and take advantage of new revenue opportunities.

Born from over 100 years of innovation, we're using our technical expertise and digital technology to help businesses transition their fleets to zero carbon.

Through optimizing your operations, ongoing support, reporting and daily management, our people take the day-to-day running off your hands, so you can get the most out of our technology whilst freeing up your time to focus on what you do best.

With our clients, we're building a world powered by zero carbon technologies to make tomorrow possible.

Hitachi ZeroCarbon's mission is to build billion-dollar potential businesses in the green economy to claim Hitachi's potential as a climate change innovator, and to deliver on our mission to contribute to society.

We incubate and build high-tech growth ventures at the intersection of mobility, energy and digital, enabling Hitachi to play a pivotal role in leading the net-zero transition.
