Before DVN was founded nobody was conducting a systematic watch on vehicle lighting innovations, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, Car Interiors, market and regulatory trends, or any suchlike. A man who’d spent decades devising successful innovations in vehicle lighting—Hector Fratty—saw that need and created the DVN Lighting community together with a small team. Over the years we’ve grown the DVN community by providing consistently high value. Today the DVN Community has grown with the DVN Interior community and the Lidar community. Our subscribers tend to be loyal, and they tend to bring their colleagues and associates along to our DVN workshops.
