Samvardhana Motherson
Automotive Systems Group BV (SMRPBV), has signed an MOU with Marelli Automotive
Lighting for a new technological partnership focused on smart illuminated
exterior body parts.
The partnership intends to focus on
components such as front grills and bumpers, along with other car parts that
can be illuminated. These components are expected to become a growing trend in
the future of mobility, with the increased adoption of Advanced
Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) in the coming
years.
SMRP BV will contribute its strong
expertise in the production of big plastic automotive parts through its operating subsidiaries, while Marelli
Automotive Lighting will bring its extensive know-how in the field of
automotive lighting and sensors integration to the collaboration respectively.
In terms of styling, illuminated
parts also have a decorative function, as they can integrate customised
illuminated elements, which are being increasingly used in branding across
vehicles.
Both partners also expect to further
build on an existing long-standing relationship, which was started in 2008
through a joint venture to manufacture automotive lighting and related
products, with four plants in India.
Mr Vivek
Chaand Sehgal, Chairman, Motherson Group said that, product innovation plays a
very important role in meeting customer requirements. With the growing customer
need to differentiate vehicles through styling elements, the company has formed
this relationship with long-standing trusted partner Marelli Automotive Lighting.
He also said that they are sure that this collaboration will help them develop
exciting new products and add value for the customers.
