This week at the Geneva Auto Show, automakers will unveil a fleet of new vehicles, many of which will feature Delphi technology designed to keep passengers safe and connected while respecting the environment.
SAFE — Reducing the number of accidents
At the Opel stand, the company will be unveiling the Zafira Tourer Biturbo, which features Delphi’s radar-based adaptive cruise control (ACC) with collision mitigation system. The ACC system constantly monitors the distance to the vehicle ahead allowing the system to automatically adjust the vehicle speed to help maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. If the driver does not react to the warnings, the system automatically applies the brakes to avoid or considerably reduce the effects of the collision.
Already available on several Volvo models, Delphi’s collision mitigation system (CMS) will be available on the new V60. CMS is the world’s first driver assistance sensor system that automatically activates a vehicle’s full braking power to avoid or considerably reduce the effects of a collision with pedestrians and vehicles. CMS enables multiple safety features including full speed range adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with full autonomous braking for pedestrians and vehicles, pre-crash sensing, lane departure warning, as well as automatic head lamp control and traffic sign recognition. The V60 also features Delphi’s rear and side detection system, a single radar that enables three features: blind spot detection, lane change aid and cross traffic alert.
GREEN — Low CO2 emissions and fuel consumption
The Delphi Multec® light duty diesel common rail system is featured on the new Citroën C4 Picasso, Infiniti Q50 and Mercedes-Benz CLA, all set to be debuted at the show. With its smart balanced valve solenoid injector design, this system is extremely fast and has injection performances similar to competitive servo-piezo technologies. Additionally, its unique control strategies allow the system to deliver precise fuel quantities over the life of the vehicle and provide optimal emissions control and acoustic performance.
CONNECTED — High-performance reception systems
The veil is also set to be lifted on the new BMW 3er GT and the Rolls-Royce Wraith featuring Delphi’sintegrated antennas, which offer vehicle manufacturers the flexibility of multiple high-performance reception systems. These integrated antennas provide extremely high performance without compromising styling.
