I’m back from India to Europe for this newsletter! We were invited to test the new Open Grandland, and I consider it a great example for our lighting community. It has a really nice lamp design; great execution with thick front and rear light blades that really look premium. There are front and rear lit logos, demonstrating how to leverage recent regulatory changes. It offers best-in-class lighting performance to increase safety by night. Offering a HD lamp on a car like this is really impressive. And it was all done by a highly-skilled team mixing senior and young engineers with mechanical, optical, hardware, software, and electrical backgrounds.
This is how we should work as a lighting team. Opel’s Lighting Technology Director Ingolf Schneider can be proud!
This car will be also showcased at SIA VISION congress next month in Paris. That’ll be a great occasion to see the car’s great lighting system and talk with the people who made it—from Opel as well as Marelli, who make the front lamp.
In the meantime, have a look at our DVN-exclusive show-and-tell on it, in today’s issue of your DVNewsletter!
Sincerely yours,
