VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich.,
Nov. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Visteon Corporation (NYSE: VC) has been awarded the first
production program for its Fusion connected platform by a leading
European-based vehicle manufacturer. The vehicle line is expected
to launch in 2018.
Fusion is a highly innovative solution "fusing" traditional
driver information, infotainment and Cloud connectivity into one
connected platform, offering drivers and passengers a seamless
human machine interaction (HMI) experience. Visteon's
first-to-market platform allows multiple systems to run
side-by-side in a virtual environment on a scalable hardware
solution that is capable of incorporating multiple operating
systems and extended graphics.
"Fusion offers vehicle manufacturers more modular integration
opportunities on one single user interface, making it simpler to
update certain aspects of the system without affecting the entire
platform," said Bob Vallance ,vice
president, global customer groups, Visteon. "Benefiting from Cloud
connectivity, the platform can also be updated over the vehicle's
lifecycle – which is a significant differentiator compared with
today's audio and infotainment systems."
For the driver, Fusion is a significant innovation as it
combines multiple levels of information into one system for the
first time, including vehicle-related and safety-critical
information such as speed or warning signals, as well as personal
information from the Cloud.
"The Fusion concept illustrates how we are constantly working on
new ways of improving the driving experience," added Christian Feltgen, vice president, Visteon's
technology office. "This milestone customer program shows how
Visteon continues to introduce connected technologies that will
drive the mobility of the future."
The Fusion connected platform was presented with the first-prize
innovation award at a European automotive suppliers gala ceremony
in Brussels, Belgium, on
Oct. 7. The program was organized by
the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA), the
German trade publication Automobil Produktion and Verband der
Automobilindustrie (VDA), the German automotive industry
organization.
