NCJ Gives Otokuni District's Elementary Students a Tour, Holds an Eco Class
21/10/2014
On October 18, NCJ invited 40 elementary students from Kyoto Prefecture's Otokuni Education District (the cities of Mukomachi, Nagaokakyo, and Oyamzaki located around NCJ's head office building), and gave them an eco class under the theme, "Motor and the Global Environment: What We Can Do," followed by a tour in the showroom on the building's first floor. We will continue to host these activities for people of the local community to help them become more familiar with Nidec and motors.
Students are given a quiz to learn about Nidec and motors
