It took me time to review my long notes after the Shanghai auto show. Today my report on the lamps at Auto Shanghai 2025 last month goes live. It was certainly difficult to select which brands to shine a spotlight on. I tried to give enough details about what caught my eyes during the show, when visiting the different car makers and suppliers.
As you read this week’s DVNewsletter, I will be In Hangzhou, visiting shows, automakers, and tier-1s to learn more about the Chinese market and what will come next. Then I will fly directly to Japan for our DVN workshop!
So, this week I bring you two interviews. First with Mitsuyoshi Naritomi, Marelli Interior Experience Global R&D VP — I worked with him at Nissan Atsugi some years ago. He will speak during our interior lighting session, and I wanted to know more about market trends in Japan and elsewhere. The second interview is with Robert Selley from VueReal, a company working on microLED technology for signal functions.
VueReal and Marelli will be two of 75 fascinating companies participating in our Tokyo workshop. Come and join in!
Sincerely yours,
