Tokyo Belt Co., Ltd. (Socialist Republic of Vietnam) has been selected for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's FY2024 Supplementary Global South Future-Oriented Co-Creation Project Subsidy (Small-Scale Demonstration/FS Project) for its demonstration project to introduce high-quality, highly durable bridge expansion devices and road surface repair methods to achieve GX in road and bridge maintenance.

Tokyo Belt Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Jun Maeda) announced on October 6, 2025, that its demonstration project in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (involving the introduction of high-quality, highly durable bridge expansion devices and road surface repair methods to achieve GX in road and bridge maintenance) has been selected for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's FY2024 Supplementary Budget for the Global South Future-Oriented Co-Creation Project Subsidy (Small-Scale Demonstration/FS Project).

The newly adopted project will demonstrate, through the acquisition of technical standards, a bridge and road repair method that uses a special elastic heated composite material, which has not yet been introduced in Vietnam, to reduce environmental impact.
The aim is to have the proposed technology adopted as a standard in public works projects, and to contribute to solving issues such as early deterioration of bridges and road surfaces, insufficient maintenance budgets, and improving road surface soundness.
