SPEED:
Safety Platform for Efficient & Economical Design
The automotive markets around the world vary considerably.
While most vehicles for developed markets are equipped
with a large number of airbags and other occupant protection
features, the safety equipment in other parts of the world
is often limited to belts and frontal airbags.
With SPEED, we have developed a control unit platform
that is based on a modular structure and can be easily adjusted to the individual requirements of car manufacturers.
The scalable SPEED concept covers the needs of all
markets worldwide.
Benefits

To achieve the required flexibility in a most efficient and
economical way, SPEED focuses on a standardized and
modular product development and manufacturing approach.
SPEED also combines more than 30 years of experience in the safety electronics market with a thorough
analysis of market requirements and market trends.
