"FOCUS ON DRIVING COMFORT AND SAFETY"

Lighting

In current automotive development, the field of light and sight assumes a central role at the interface of design, comfort and safety.

Automotive manufacturers are focusing more and more on lighting development. In addition to front and rear lighting, however, lighting elements for the interior of the vehicle are now also distinctive features. FEV meets the growing technical requirements for lighting technology components through innovative concepts and a wealth of experience, acquired over a multitude of projects.

Our range of service

Holistic support

Durability, energy efficiency, color temperature, temperature behavior, and the connection of intelligent components are key factors in the development of modern lighting elements.

FEV works with state-of-the-art simulation technology. Even in the early stages of headlight and rear light development, FEV creates a precise overview regarding the distribution of luminance, the distribution of temperature, and the flow behavior. Detailed beam path calculations and installation space examinations guarantee an ideal lighting technology design. FEV assists you on the path to greater vision, from concept development, construction, and component development up to the production of functional lighting technology systems on our model.

Innovation as a standard

Supported by the latest scientific findings, FEV takes on a pioneer role when it comes to setting new standards. Laser light developments used for headlights or transparent OLEDs for rear light applications highlight our expertise. In the simulation, FEV transfers its knowledge on an ongoing basis to other application fields, such as the water spray simulation in the washer nozzle area.

Intelligent lighting functions

The growing connection to onboard computers, navigation and camera systems leads to increasingly intelligent lighting systems. For instance, it is now self-evident in LED technology that individual diodes can be controlled or dimmed in a targeted manner, while the light beam adaptively adjusts to behavior in curves. Our experts provide the right answers for this in relation to electronic elements, assemblies, controls, and sensors.

More freedom for emotional design

Our experts are working on innovative concepts regarding the ambient lighting of the vehicle. Here, among other things, the latest findings from microoptics technology are used (in which FEV plays a leading role), such as MLA technology and REALEYES 3D technology.

The bionic approach of the Micro-Lens Array (MLA) technology enables, for the first time, the creation of LED projectors with entirely new characteristics: a compact-sized LED projector with sharp projection images on arbitrary geometries with the smallest possible angle of incidence.

Always easily visible: Light and sight surfacing

Another FEV area of expertise is the creation of Class-A surfaces for headlights, fog lights, and daytime lights as well as for side blinkers, brake lights, and rear lights (SBBR). Over the course of many years, our team of specialists has acquired unique expertise in this highly complex field. Nowadays, FEV realizes design concepts up to surfacing for mass production. You benefit from this not least in connection with innovative lighting technologies. FEV creates, for instance, Class-A surfaces for conventional halogen technology as well as for LED technology and Adaptive Front Lighting Systems (AFS). In every case, our developments are based on the directives of the Economic Commission for Europe, or ECE.
