Visteon's versatile cluster display powers driver information in the all-new Alfa Romeo Junior SUV. Ahead of the strategy for the upcoming newer and more advanced vehicle platforms like the STLA Small/Mid/Large, Visteon’s international team of engineers developed a cluster-display scalable solution together with Stellantis' global STLA SmartCockpit teams. For instance, this scalable solution is also applied in the successful Jeep Avenger. With expertise from Visteon in France, Bulgaria, Romania, and Tunisia, the joint teams delivered a reconfigurable cluster that stands out for its graphic performance and adaptability. The cluster display platform offers a range of screen options, including 7-inch and 10-inch. It keeps drivers informed with crisp visuals and seamlessly integrates video inputs for a comprehensive in-car experience. Reliable network communication and functional safety features ensure a smooth and secure ride. Also, the cluster display is agnostic to the vehicle type of motorization. We're thrilled to be a part of the Alfa Romeo Junior's launch and look forward to seeing this exciting vehicle on the road! Images: courtesy of Alfa Romeo.

After months of public road testing in both continents, Plus’s latest Level 4 AI-based SuperDrive is now operational in TRATON autonomous trucks in Europe and the U.S. The companies see this as a key move to their next phase of commercializing autonomous trucks. The companies note that the software was meticulously developed with global deployment in mind, applying the four key factors of Defined Testing Process, Feature Metrics and Autonomy Readiness, Global Product Alignment, and Feature Consistency Across Platforms. The article elaborates on these. Congrats to both Plus and the TRATON teams! Plus TRATON GROUP #driverlesstrucks #autonomoustrucks https://lnkd.in/eFGmYmeH

Our results for the first nine months are out and they tell a strong story. 💪 Škoda Auto is growing our footprint and our profitability at the same time. From January through September, Škoda’s brand ranking rose to 4th place in Europe from 7th in 2023 and 10th the year before. We’ve done this while increasing our return on sales – a key metric for profitability – to 8.3% in the same period from 6.4% a year earlier. 📈 I am especially grateful for the support we’ve experienced from our customers for the most diverse and up-to-date product portfolio in our history. 🤝 I’m excited to see that customers are embracing our design, practicality, extra value and the freedom of choice we offer, including ICE, BEV and mild and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Thank you, Škoda drivers! You are everyday explorers, and we are honoured to be your companions. We also remain focused on #efficiency and #innovation – two keys to success in the most challenging period ever for the automotive industry. Credit is due to our many colleagues who design, build and sell our cars for their untiring efforts to fine-tune our operations. They are the driving force behind a robust business model. 🥇 What’s next? 🟢 We are paving a path forward with new models like the fully electric #Elroq, which just made its debut. This compact SUV is the most affordable vehicle in its segment across Europe, at a similar list price as its ICE counterpart #Karoq in many markets – achieving price parity for a BEV. 🟢 Our strategy for building new international markets reaches its next milestone soon with the unveiling of the #Kylaq, a compact SUV developed and produced in India, for India. Again, my thanks to the team and to our customers, as well as our suppliers and dealer partners, for all they contribute to future-proofing Škoda Auto. 🙏 What new challenges do you think we will need to navigate in 2025?

The economic environment for the automotive industry is more challenging than ever. This is also reflected in the figures of the Brand Group Core: despite robust sales and revenue development, our returns are under pressure due to high costs. What’s crucial now? ➡️ We need to counteract this and, above all, achieve substantial reductions in fixed, manufacturing, and labour costs, particularly for the lead brand, Volkswagen. ➡️ We must implement our ongoing performance programs with full force. ➡️ We must develop additional, viable solutions to the severe headwinds we face and our own structural vulnerabilities. These steps are essential for us to continue independently investing in new vehicles, technologies, and competitive factories. Strong new models for our customers are helping us in this. From the Tiguan, Golf, and ID.7 Tourer to the VW Transporter, and from the Škoda Superb and Elroq to the CUPRA Terramar – each model is clearly differentiated, and developed and produced synergistically. They offer our customers the widest choice, top quality, and cutting-edge technologies. Truly great cars that we can be proud of! Thank you to the teams of Wayne Griffiths Klaus Zellmer Carsten Intra and the Volkswagen team for your drive, perseverance and resilience. We are currently facing very challenging times, but we know what needs to be done to secure our future success. Let’s make it happen!
