How does MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions help today's automotive design engineers meet the need for lighter weight, electric connected vehicles?
Smartphones, 5G and reducing personnel carbon footprint are all shaping the car of tomorrow. Automotive designers need supply chain partners that can help them integrate these factors into new model designs. For example the car of tomorrow will have integrated touchscreen displays (evolved from smartphone technology) and 5G capability for autonomous driving. These will all be built around an electric (EV) powertrain.
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions delivers its superior knowledge and ability to offer integrated solutions from a single source.
Why is this important?
According to LMC Automotive “the emergence of on-demand or autonomous vehicles will accelerate the process (of electric vehicle adoption). Coupled with the fact that “buttons, dials and switches are being relegated (replaced) by interactive displays ” means vehicle designers must consider how they will combine:
- User interface displays
- Reduced vehicle weight
- Increased battery power density
- Level 3+ autonomous capability
On next generation of vehicles.
