Magneti Marelli has kicked off 2016 by displaying its advanced technologies and products at two important American events for the automotive sector: the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas and the NAIAS (North American International Auto Show) in Detroit.
At the CES, two of the main themes for the automotive sector were connectivity and displays. Magneti Marelli reflected these themes at the off-site demo event staged in Las Vegas and also exhibited advanced technologies for lighting, infotainment, telematics and powertrain.
At NAIAS, many of the Magneti Marelli technological solutions are featured on the new Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, displayed at the show in Detroit.
Magneti Marelli is contributing to Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio technologies and components within the area of electronic systems: at the forefront is the chassis domain control electronic control unit, the “brain” of the car, and the new infotainment system equipped with an 8.8 “black panel” thin film transistor display, which integrates optical bonding technologies designed for perfect display readability.
With regard to lighting systems, Magneti Marelli has collaborated with Alfa Romeo to produce the headlamps and rear lamps of the Giulia, distinctive and characteristic design elements of the car. The company also produced the components for the front and rear suspensions, the exhaust system, the pedal board and the plastic parts and, in the electronic systems area, the body computer.
Magneti Marelli parts also were featured in the new Chrysler Pacifica, second generation Chevrolet Volt, the new Chevrolet Camaro, new Audi A4, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Porsche 911 Turbo.
Introducing new telematics advancements, Magneti Marelli presented the Smart Antenna, an “intelligent” antenna equipped with a modem capable of receiving and transmitting data from the car to operators of external services.
