Description

Increased environmental and safety requirements combined with the customer preference for full comfort configuration and additional features will be a technological challenge both for OEMs as well as suppliers.
The next generation of EU specifications which are still under discussion will move the automotive industry into a new generation of extraordinarily ‘clean’ cars. The technological effort to fulfil these requirements is enormous. Both electromobility and engine improvement will be key factors. Engine management will require strictly controlled exhaust gas emissions. The cable industry will support these technologies with special sensor cables for a wide range of exhaust gas sensors and onboard controls.
Additionally, the miniaturisation of cables by means of conductor size reduction and cable downsizing will support the overall efficiency by reducing the weight of wiring system components. The cable industry has increased its efforts significantly in the development of weight reduction designs and electromobility solutions.
Features such as top view / area view, parking assist and driver assist systems are aimed at satisfying the customer’s growing desire for a higher level of comfort and safety. LEONI data cables are setting new standards for digital data transfer.
