Flashback ... 42 Volt - From Innovation to Integration - Architecture, Systems, Applications
Munich/Germany, March 28 – 29, 2000

The only question is when and who will be the first automobile producer to change its models
from 14 to 42 volt energy systems. Automobile producers desiring to add higher power
components and systems for more security and comfort in their vehicles, or who are
considering implementing "x-by-wire"systems need higher voltage electrical systems. This
requires new architectures and offers opportunities for further system improvements. These
new demands challenge the suppliers capacity to innovate. Suppliers must now include 42 volt components and
systems within their product range and make these new components as light, small, and cost efficient as
possible. Lastly, before the decision for series production is made, these components and systems must be
validated for functionality and product life. Which strategies should OEMs pursue? What will the new electrical
system architecture look like? What effects will this new system complexity have on components? Who will
manage the interface between hardware and software? Between the OEM and suppliers? Ask the experts,
exchange insights and join us in an open discussion about the future of automobile electrical systems on March
28 and 29, 2000.
