As the penetration of electronics continues to increase across the automobile’s systems, including powertrain, chassis, safety, infotainment and interiors, the industry faces a major challenge with reliability, cost and weight. As importance of software grows, the industry is migrating towards open source platforms while the hardware suppliers are increasing the amount of functionality to individual processors and systems. SupplierBusiness’s Automotive Electric & Electronics Systems Report provides detailed coverage of the market drivers along with in-depth analysis of the latest technologies. Electronics offer the single largest growth area for suppliers in the future with increasing focus on safety, emissions and alternative fuel vehicles. This report looks at the vehicle architecture and how it is being developed to cater to the industry’s future demands. The report also provides a stock of detailed profiles of suppliers in the sector including those with platform alliances such as Autosar, CAN, Flexray, Genivi, Jaspar and LIN.
The field of electronics has gained a predominant position in the automotive industry. It has risen to become a key differentiator between vehicles in terms of comfort features, safety, performance and efficiency. At the same time, the proliferation of electronics poses the biggest challenge to the industry – how to manage the complexity of the electronics architecture. Electronics has penetrated most physical areas and functions of a vehicle. Increasingly, electronics are substituting mechanical systems and managing more and more functions in a vehicle. This exponential growth has exerted its load on the wiring system beyond its capacity to manage data transfer, and has added to vehicle weight.
With the OEMs’ increasing demands on suppliers for components and systems development around electronics, and as more mechatronics replace mechanical parts, the industry will see the emergence of new first and second tier suppliers. Those suppliers which best understand electronics and software will have an edge in winning future business. |
