FORVIA HELLA has developed a completely new headlamp concept for the Q6 e-tron in collaboration with the German premium manufacturer Audi. Its speciality: The front lighting not only realises adaptive lighting functions such as glare-free high beam. Above all, it has a digital daytime running light matrix that allows end users to select their preferred digital light signature for the daytime running light from up to eight preset designs. The appearance of the Matrix LED headlamps can therefore be personalised to a high degree.
For the front lighting of the Q6 e-tron, FORVIA HELLA has developed a headlamp concept that visually divides the lighting elements into two areas based on the design of the bodywork. The lower area is primarily responsible for “seeing”: Matrix LED headlamps consisting of 14 LEDs realise glare-free high beam, i.e. driving with the high beam permanently switched on without dazzling oncoming traffic. The upper element, on the other hand, is used to display “being seen”, the digital daytime running lights with the associated design and customisation functions. Each headlamp has a digital daytime running light matrix consisting of 61 individually switchable segments, which create the customisable digital light signature of the Audi Q6 e-tron.

The daytime running light designs created by the manufacturer, which also include specially customised Coming Home/Leaving Home scenes, can then be selected by the end user according to their own preferences via a software-based app or the fully electric SUV's Multi Media Interface (MMI).

The matrix LED headlamps are produced in the Czech Republic, and a local version for the Chinese market is also manufactured in China. Series development takes place in Germany and the Czech Republic.
