Quality and Reliability

European Association of Automotive Suppliers

Audi, GM, Google, Honda, Hyundai and NVIDIA have joined together to form the Open Automotive Alliance , a global alliance of technology and auto industry leaders committed to bringing the Android platform to cars starting in 2014. The OAA is dedicated to a common platform that will drive innovation, and make technology in the car safer and more intuitive for everyone. Panasonic Corporation is a worldwide leader in the development and engineering of electronic technologies and solutions for customers in residential, non-residential, mobility and personal applications. Since its founding in 1918, the company has expanded globally and now operates over 500 consolidated companies worldwide, recording consolidated net sales of 7.74 trillion yen for the year ended March 31, 2014.

It is also expected that this trend will continue, especially as the younger generations of people no longer want to own a car anymore, and prefer other modes of transport. Other potentially powerful automotive markets are Iran and Indonesia.Emerging automobile markets already buy more cars than established markets. The automotive industry began in the 1860s with hundreds of manufacturers that pioneered the horseless carriage. For many decades, the United States led the world in total automobile production.

  • We rely on our cars for so many things in our lives, but right now the connection between them and the other mobile technology in our lives isn’t always seamless.
  • Our speed and position sensors, as well as our mechatronic modules, improve mechanical and automatic transmission efficiency.
  • Future JVC Kenwood technologies will include the familiar Android platform, allowing JVC KENWOOD to further advance driver safety with a seamless connected car interface.” -Haruo Kawahara, CEO of JVC KENWOOD Corporation.
  • By combining radar detectors, cameras and optical depth sensing systems such as LiDAR, a vehicle can capture a detailed, real-time view of the space around it, while building in redundancy to protect against the failure of any one sensor.

The first BMW to be assembled locally was the 520/4, which was sent CKD and built in Jakarta by PT Indonesia Service Coy. 780 E12 were assembled from 1976 until 1981, with the 520/6 replacing the four-cylinder in 1978. Indonesia Service Coy later built the E28, E30, E36, and E34 models, until assembly was taken over by the PT Gaya Motor company in 1993. Tata Motors and Marcopolo have a joint venture called Tata Marcopolo, where Tata owns 51% and Marcopolo owns 49%. MAN SE and UzAvtosanoat have a joint venture called MAN Auto-Uzbekistan, UzAvtosanoat owns 51% and MAN SE owns 49%. Mahindra & Mahindra and Navistar International have a joint venture called Mahindra Trucks and Buses Limited.

Featuring an open and scalable platform, Samsung DRVLINE with Exynos Auto A empowers car manufacturers to swiftly adapt ADAS solutions to meet market needs. The ISOCELL Auto image sensor with CornerPixel technology provides precise identification capabilities in the dark, while its 120 dB dynamic range ensures drivers can spot objects in high-contrast environments. Some estimates surpass 180,000 L of water per car manufactured, depending on whether tyre production is included.

Accelerating the transformation to software-defined vehicles

Synopsys is a leading provider of high-quality, silicon-proven semiconductor IP solutions for SoC designs. Automakers are facing increased competition from disruptors and as a result, they’re redesigning organizations, shifting their strategies to digital-first, and competing for software engineering talent. Recycling battery materials is vital to the electric-vehicle future, but the way forward faces a host of hurdles. Highly accurate, robust and reliable, compact position sensors from ams are an ideal fit for automotive angle and rotary position sensing applications. With a wide range of illumination and sensing solutions, ams can address all common 2D and 3D imaging-based system architectures to realize interior-sensing applications.

Röchling Automotive Launches Reorganization Program “DRIVING FUTURE”

The process evolved from engineers working on a stationary car, to a conveyor belt system where the car passed through multiple stations of more specialized engineers. Starting in the 1960s, robotic equipment was introduced to the process, and today most cars are produced largely with automated machinery. The VW Group is one of the most successful automotive groups in the world. ŠKODA, in association with the Group, independently manufactures and develops vehicles, as well as components, engines and gear transmissions.
