Situation / シチュエーション(Reference again)
Proposing energy-efficient equipment to overseas customers considering introduction for achieving decarbonization goals.
脱炭素目標達成に向けて省エネ機器導入を検討する海外顧客に提案する場面です。
👨💼【Teacher / Procurement Manager】:
Thank you for coming today. We are considering your energy-saving equipment to meet our decarbonization target. Could you explain the energy-saving performance and CO2 reduction effect with specific numbers?
(本日はお越しいただきありがとうございます。私たちは脱炭素目標を達成するため、御社の省エネ機器を検討しています。省エネ性能とCO2削減効果について具体的な数値で説明していただけますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Sales Representative】:
Thank you for this opportunity. Let me explain our product's performance with data. First, our new equipment reduces power consumption by 30 percent compared to conventional models. Second, this leads to a CO2 reduction of approximately 15 tons per year for a typical factory. Third, the payback period is estimated at 3 years based on current energy costs.
(この機会をいただきありがとうございます。データを用いて製品の性能を説明させてください。第一に、当社の新型機器は従来モデルと比較して消費電力を30パーセント削減します。第二に、これにより標準的な工場で年間約15トンのCO2削減につながります。第三に、現在のエネルギーコストに基づくと投資回収期間は3年と見積もられます。)
👨💼【Teacher / Procurement Manager】:
Those numbers sound promising. However, we need to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 20 tons per year to meet our target. Can your equipment achieve that level?
(その数値は有望に聞こえます。しかし、私たちは目標を達成するために年間少なくとも20トンのCO2排出削減が必要です。御社の機器はそのレベルを達成できますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Sales Representative】:
I understand your requirement. We can increase the CO2 reduction to 20 tons per year by installing 2 units instead of 1. The total cost will be 180000 USD, but the combined energy savings will help you reach your decarbonization goal. We also offer a monitoring system to track the actual reduction results.
(ご要件を理解しました。1台ではなく2台設置することで、CO2削減量を年間20トンに増やすことができます。総費用は180000米ドルになりますが、統合されたエネルギー節約により脱炭素目標の達成を支援します。また、実際の削減結果を追跡するモニタリングシステムも提供しています。)
👨💼【Teacher / Procurement Manager】:
That makes sense. But the budget is a concern. Is there any way to reduce the initial cost while still meeting our 20-ton reduction target?
(それは理にかなっています。しかし予算が懸念事項です。20トン削減目標を満たしながら初期費用を削減する方法はありますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Sales Representative】:
Yes, we have a flexible option. We can provide a leasing plan that reduces the upfront payment to 50000 USD. The remaining amount can be paid over 5 years. This approach allows you to start achieving CO2 reductions immediately without a large initial investment. The monthly payment will be covered by the energy cost savings.
(はい、柔軟な選択肢があります。前払い金を50000米ドルに削減するリースプランを提供できます。残額は5年間で支払うことができます。このアプローチにより、大きな初期投資なしで直ちにCO2削減を開始できます。月々の支払いはエネルギーコスト削減でカバーされます。)
👨💼【Teacher / Procurement Manager】:
That sounds like a practical solution. Could you send us a detailed proposal including the leasing terms and the monitoring system specifications? We would like to review it with our finance team and get back to you by the end of next week.
(それは実用的な解決策のようですね。リース条件とモニタリングシステムの仕様を含む詳細な提案書を送っていただけますか?財務チームと検討して来週末までにご連絡したいと思います。)
🧑🎓【Student / Sales Representative】:
Absolutely. I will prepare the proposal with all the details and send it to you by tomorrow. The document will include the equipment specifications, CO2 reduction calculations, leasing options, and monitoring system features. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
(承知しました。すべての詳細を含む提案書を準備し、明日までにお送りします。書類には機器仕様、CO2削減計算、リース選択肢、モニタリングシステム機能が含まれます。ご質問があればお気軽にご連絡ください。)
👨💼【Teacher / Procurement Manager】:
Perfect. We appreciate your quick response and flexible approach. This proposal will help us make a decision that supports both our environmental goals and budget constraints. Thank you for your support.
(完璧です。迅速な対応と柔軟なアプローチに感謝します。この提案は環境目標と予算制約の両方を支える意思決定に役立ちます。ご支援ありがとうございます。)
