The world is full of information. To get the most out of it, it is of the utmost importance that it is properly filtered, prioritized and visualized. As a part of this, the optimization of the HMI (human machine interface) is a task particularly dear to our hearts.

 

Starting with people and their needs, we develop solutions for networking the vehicle with its driver and passengers, with mobile devices, with other vehicles, and with the outside world. Our experience in the field of systems integration enables us to combine different functions into one single component.

Body & Security – Enhancing comfort and safety

We develop and produce electronic systems that enable access to vehicles, control driving authorization, and ensure the availability of safety and comfort features within the vehicle.

A core field of our work is in the area of vehicle control units that govern the operation of windshield wipers, headlights and electronic immobilizers, for example. Also of keen interest are our tire pressure monitoring systems. They reliably notify drivers of irregularities in tire inflation.

Our versatile and scalable solutions for battery and energy management help maintain a vehicle’s roadworthiness while at the same time reducing fuel consumption. This is of particular pertinence with regard to hybrid technology.

Connectivity – Always in touch

With the number of mobile devices steadily rising, the requirements that integration solutions have to meet are also increasing. We offer surefire possibilities for more conveniently employing these constant companions in vehicles.

Our wide-ranging telematics solutions make it possible to receive and transmit information in and from the vehicle. Our development is geared towards making motoring safer and more comfortable.

Visual Display Systems – Driving with everything well within view

We work on possibilities for optimally processing information to best suit the needs of drivers according to the situation. A key focal point is prioritizing information, which, depending on the vehicle, is shown on various displays and indicators.

 

Our instrument clusters offer attractive and well-structured possibilities for keeping the driver informed. What is more, our portfolio also includes displays and other indicating systems for the center console. These can be linked to additional displays. Our head-up display projects the information most important to the driver onto the windshield.

Control Elements – Operation and control convenience

We are specialists for cockpit integration solutions. Our service spectrum extends from the development of individual components through to the production of complete cockpits. In the production area we operate within the framework of a joint venture with Faurecia.

Our core competences are to be found in the realization of new HMI concepts and climate control systems as well as in the development of innovative haptic controls and the configuration and delivery of integrated center stacks.

Infotainment – Intelligent infotainment on the go

Our innovative radio, navigation and multimedia systems for all vehicle categories make it possible to conveniently connect mobile devices. Furthermore they offer solutions that promote safe and environmentally friendly driving.

The solutions are scalable and range from analog radios with excellent reception to elaborate multimedia systems with updatable software that keep pace with advances in consumer electronics. What is more, our navigation-data-based systems lend major support to driving economy and driver assistance systems.

 

Simplify your Drive – Simply drive better!

Everyone is different – every day.

That’s reason enough to ponder a vehicle concept that enables you to drive just the car you want at any time. Fridays it’s a sedan for a relaxing business trip, Saturdays a budget car for doing the week’s shopping, Sundays a sports car for dynamic driving fun.

The full range of possibilities in one vehicle

Our Simplify your Drive concept – unique worldwide – enables carmakers to invest just one vehicle with any number of driving identities. To achieve this, existing functions are bundled together with new ones in profiles that can be activated at the push of a button. This offers motorists maximum flexibility and the possibility of holistically experiencing all a vehicle’s functions.

Focusing on carmakers’ demands

This all-embracing approach – replete with a host of innovative solutions – gives the Simplify your Drive concept maximum flexibility. Different brands, customer groups and models as well as different markets and regions can be served without changing the hardware. The software is simply integrated into the existing vehicle architecture and adapted as required.
