Making things

Michael Ely, from DENSO Manufacturing Michigan, shows off his electric-powered go-kart to Koichi Fukaya, chairman of DENSO Corporation, at the annual DENSO MURAN competition. The vehicle features a unique steering system that offers better control and less arm fatigue for the driver.
