Nagoya University, located in the industrial Aichi Prefecture—home to Toyota, Denso, and Mitsubishi—offers a high-level technical intensive: “Advanced EV Power Train Technology.” This course is a cornerstone of the Nagoya University Summer Intensive Program (NUSIP), scheduled for June 10 – July 17, 2026. As global markets pivot toward carbon neutrality, the shift from internal combustion to electric drivetrains represents the most significant engineering challenge of our time. This program provides a rare “teardown” perspective on modern EVs, comparing regional technology from the EU, US, China, and Japan. While the university provides elite academic instruction, access to the National Innovation Complex, and official academic credits, Edulux Summer manages the high-end logistics and travel services required for your stay in Japan.
