Recent trends such as Automated Driving and increasing vehicle electrification are creating new and increased demands on future wiring systems.

Leoni, global solution provider for power and data management in the automotive and other industries, has developed two new cables for the industrial data transmission standard Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), which can be used in drag chain and torsion applications. This makes Leoni the first cable manufacturer in the world to bring these cables to market.

High-voltage wiring systems for electric vehicles can be manufactured considerably more cost effectively. That calls for an overall perspective across system and value creation limits as well as a serious effort to standardise. Udo Hornfeck, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Leoni’s Wiring Systems Division, the provider of energy and data management solutions in the automotive sector, urges the automotive industry to collaborate more closely.
