Flexible partners: Fujitsu, Visteon, Land Rover collaborate on digital displays
Collaboration among car makers and their component and system suppliers is becoming critical. Here's a case study involving digital displays in new cars.
Multi-pronged approach reduces carbon dioxide emissions
In order to significantly reduce the CO2 emission of a car, it is not sufficient to attack at one single point. In contrast, it is necessary to use a combination of more efficient drives, electrification, assistance systems and maximum driver integration. Continental explains its integrated system approach to make engines and vehicles more economical.
