Hella Unveils New Automotive Lighting, Electronics Designed to Reduce CO(2) Emissions

You can now incorporate your vehicle into the fight against global warming, in a rather surprising way. Hella, a global tier-one supplier of automotive lighting and electronic equipment, has developed a portfolio of automotive lighting and electronics solutions designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO(2)) emissions. Increased CO(2) emissions have the potential to increase global temperatures which can lead to melting icecaps, increased ocean levels, warmer winters and negative changes to delicate ecosystems. Hella's new CO(2)-reducing lighting products include xenon headlamps and lighting emitting diodes (LEDs), which are, among others, used in daytime running lights.

PLYMOUTH, MI – You can now incorporate your vehicle into the fight against global warming, in a rather surprising way. Hella, a global tier-one supplier of automotive lighting and electronic equipment, has developed a portfolio of automotive lighting and electronics solutions designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO(2)) emissions.

Increased CO(2) emissions have the potential to increase global temperatures, which can lead to melting icecaps, increased ocean levels, warmer winters and negative changes to delicate ecosystems.

Hella’s new CO(2)-reducing lighting products include xenon headlamps and lighting emitting diodes (LEDs), which are, among others, used in daytime running lights.

In comparison with average light bulbs found in vehicle headlamps, Hella’s xenon headlamps use less power while doubling light output. According to Hella, xenon headlamps also use a third less energy than halogen bulbs. A vehicle equipped with a combination of xenon lights and conventional light bulbs in the rear lamps can achieve an energy savings of about 25 percent compared to full halogen lighting.

Daytime running lights are becoming increasingly common and have been associated with improved road safety. Running lights, along with LEDs, reduce fuel consumption by an estimated .0847 gallons per 100 miles.

"While CO(2) reduction is seeing an ever-growing interest in today’s environmentally conscious world, intelligent lighting and electronics solutions from Hella contribute both to an increase in efficient power generation and to a reduction in energy consumption," explained Dr. Martin Fisher, president of Hella Electronics Corporation.

Hella’s electronic products that help reduce CO(2) emissions include demand-driven fuel pumps, an Intelligent Battery Sensor, a fuel-quality sensor, an oil quality sensor and electric vacuum pumps.
