This week at the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show (September 12-22),
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 — Protecting
pedestrians
Delphi’s award-winning vehicle sound generator enables
pedestrians to detect nearly silent hybrid and electric vehicles and allows
automakers to meet upcoming global government safety legislation for EV/HEVs.
Delphi's single-box vehicle sound generator is approximately three times
lighter than a conventional multi-box system and uses 90 percent less power,
making it the most environmentally-friendly solution available. Its single-box
design helps to reduce design, test and manufacturing cost, and its size and
weight simplify packaging. It is featured on the new BMW i3, Mercedes-Benz S
Class, and Smart Fortwo.
