Automotive Lighting
Headlamp Technologies
Headlamp solutions are always aimed at improving visibility and the vision during day and night driving. They also offer the opportunity to improve appearance, at the same time integrating effective innovations, such as Xenon or LED light sources, and the development of specific lighting functions such as, for example, AFS (Adaptive Frontlighting System), IR-System (Infrared System) and DRS (Daytime Running Light).
Rear Lamp Technologies
One of the main functions of rear lamps is to signal a driver’s actions and intentions, for this reason good visibility and fast switch-on times play a crucial role. Another important function is to distinguish the style of a brand: rear lamps are one of the first elements to catch one’s eyes, and they provide a vehicle with its distinctive personality.
Competences
Headlamps and rear lamps strongly contribute to the appearance of a vehicle. New materials, shapes and technologies offer extraordinary styling opportunities, and consequently the possibility to greatly characterize the brand image. This is the reason why Automotive Lighting places great care in the manufacture of each headlamp and rear light, components that also have a special impact on driving comfort and on the safety of the drivers and of all the other individuals involved in road traffic activities. A constant challenge to improve know-how in terms of “pedestrian protection” and safety.
Electronics for
Through the years, the study and production of Automotive Lighting systems have witnessed intense growth focused on the integration of innovative technologies and functions. These systems have become precious and fascinating elements of attention in a vehicle, representing its “eyes”. They are important in terms of driving safety and are interesting in terms of the style evolutions of the different carmakers. The new light sources, efficient and powered by electronics, offer design engineers great opportunities in terms of product design. The specific competence of Automotive Lighting consists in the excellent integration and management of electronic lighting systems.
