Aligned with the Auto China 2016 theme – "Innovation to
Transformation" – Visteon will showcase how it is transforming the
cockpit electronics experience through its expertise in instrument
clusters, head-up displays, information displays, infotainment,
connected audio, and connectivity and telematics. Visteon also will
show its capabilities to support vehicle-to-vehicle and
vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) technology; and wireless gateway,
an advanced system providing several forms of connectivity to route
in-vehicle data seamlessly and securely.
Along with the latest technology in its core product lines,
Visteon will feature SmartCore™, a security-focused approach to
cockpit module consolidation that addresses the increasing
complexity of cockpit electronics to improve the driving
experience. Advanced concepts will be spotlighted through an
interactive vehicle at Visteon's exhibit, featuring 3-D gesture
technology for driver information and infotainment systems that can
reduce driver distraction and enhance the user experience.
While Visteon has had a strong presence in China for many years, this is the first time
the company is participating in the Auto China show in Beijing. Visteon will demonstrate how it is
well-positioned to provide automakers in China and globally with a full range of
products in a cockpit electronics segment that research shows has a
major influence on customer satisfaction – and which is projected
to grow more than twice as fast as the overall automotive
market.
"We are enthused about the opportunity to demonstrate at this
major show in Asia – our largest
global market – how we are applying software and new technology to
transform how drivers and passengers interact with information and
entertainment more safely, securely and enjoyably," said Visteon
President and CEO Sachin
Lawande.
"As the only Tier 1 supplier exclusively focused on vehicle
cockpit electronics, we aim to be a leader in new technology
initiatives in the areas of advanced driver assistance systems
(ADAS), V2X and autonomous driving," Lawande added. "At Beijing, we
will be displaying current core technology and advanced concepts
that provide the foundation for our leadership in these
fast-growing segments."
Highlights of Visteon's core product lines to be shown at Auto
China 2016 include:
- Instrument clusters – Larger, higher-resolution displays,
migrating toward 3-D graphics, are the new norm – and Visteon will
showcase advanced clusters that provide driver information for all
vehicle segments, including high-end, fully reconfigurable
clusters.
- Head-up displays – The Beijing
show will mark the premiere of Visteon's premium combiner head-up
display – one of three levels of combiner HUD products on display.
Combiner HUD brings head-up technology to mass-market vehicles by
projecting a virtual image in front of the driver using a
transparent screen mounted on top of the instrument panel.
- Information displays – Automotive-ready concepts on display
will incorporate the consumer appeal of sleek design, craftsmanship
and touch capability while utilizing the latest in display
technology – including curved lenses optically bonded with formable
touch sensors and flexible displays.

infotainment systems provide embedded content, a driver-centric
user interface and enhanced cyber security.
- Connected audio – Visteon's OpenAir® audio products combine
smartphone and wearable content with an intuitive interface for a
superior listening experience.
