With the first of annual software updates for mega macs diagnostic devices, Hella Gutmann has accomplished a decisive step for the vehicle diagnostics of tomorrow. The multi-brand diagnostic devices of the mega macs series now also support independent workshops when working on vehicles that previously could only be diagnosed to a limited extent or not at all, such as Tesla Model S and Model X as well as the latest, access-protected vehicles of the brands in the Volkswagen Group.
Faurecia and HELLA are very pleased to introduce FORVIA, the newly combined Group’s name, following the successful completion of the acquisition of a controlling stake in HELLA by Faurecia on January 31, 2022.
HELLA combines all the necessary functions for efficient thermal management for the first time in the form of a subsystem. Innovative 7-way valve ensures ideal temperature of battery, components and vehicle interior at any time of the year and enables efficient heat recovery. Modular approach allows components to be combined according to requirements.
Minimizing installation space, increasing efficiency, design freedom and the degree of individualization - what is important in headlamp development also applies to rear lighting. For a long time now, rear lighting has not only fulfilled important safety functions, but also offers a wide range of possibilities for creating individual lighting signatures. For example, dynamic direction indicators are already integrated as an attractive functional feature in the compact class.
Modern vehicle headlights score points with their large headlight range, light waves similar to daylight, and optimum illumination with minimal glaring for other road users. Added to this is the growing comfort provided by advanced high-beam assistant systems. But with the diversity of lighting systems, the challenge of correct headlight settings is growing. Hella Gutmann's SEG series headlight adjustment devices provide reliable and user-friendly solutions for the individual needs of a workshop.
Whenever there is a breakdown or an accident, it is essential to secure the location in question. This explains why in many countries the warning triangle is required by law. But until this is set up, the vehicle remains unsecured – a danger for all road users that should not be underestimated, especially in the dark.
Faultless rear lighting is not only important so that you can be seen by other people in good time. It also simultaneously highlights the design of the vehicle and makes it unmistakable on the road. When it comes to the realisation of rear lamps, LED technology is of particular importance. After all, LEDs are robust, durable, energy-efficient and they also open up a wide range of design options.
