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.
