Headlamp

Headlamp systems for trucks, buses, trailers, agricultural vehicles, and construction equipment combine static and dynamic forward lighting technologies to improve visibility and transportation safety. These systems use high-power LEDs to provide both high- and low-beam functionality, delivering reliable road illumination across a wide range of operating conditions. Dynamic lighting capabilities help optimize light distribution, improving driver visibility while reducing glare for other road users.

Daytime Running Light (DRL)

Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) increase vehicle visibility during daylight hours to support safer road operation. LED-based DRLs provide high efficiency and extended operational life, replacing conventional incandescent lamp solutions in heavy vehicles. The cold-white color temperature helps vehicles become more visible to other road users sooner than with traditional warm-white incandescent lighting.

Turn Indicator

Turn indicators communicate a vehicle’s intended direction using bright yellow LED lighting for clear visibility. Front turn indicators use LED technology to provide fast response times, high brightness, and reliable signal visibility in harsh lighting conditions. Dynamic or sequential lighting patterns further improve signal clarity, helping surrounding traffic recognize turning, lane change, and maneuvering intentions.

Rear Light, License Plate, & Reverse Light

Rear light, license plate, and reverse light solutions provide multiple rear lighting functions for heavy vehicles in a single lighting system. These LED-based solutions support pixel, point, area, and light-guide designs, enabling up to four lighting functions within a single light source. The integrated design improves visibility, reduces energy consumption, and supports flexible lighting configurations while maintaining robust performance in low-visibility driving conditions.

Position Light & Side Marker

Position lights and side markers indicate a vehicle’s presence during driving and help other road users identify vehicle size and position. ams OSRAM position light and side marker solutions use LEDs to provide long operational life, low energy consumption, minimal maintenance, and excellent brightness. Wide-angle visibility improves detection from a distance, supporting safer operation for large vehicles in low-light conditions.

Work Lights

Work lights support productivity and safety in dark environments and challenging weather conditions. These LED-based lighting solutions provide high brightness, durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance in demanding operating environments. Their efficient operation and long lifetime help reduce downtime and maintenance costs while supporting reliable nighttime and low-light operation.

Cluster & Switch Backlights

Cluster and switch backlighting systems illuminate dashboards, controls, and instrument panels to ensure clear visibility in operator cabins. These compact LED solutions provide uniform illumination in densely packed or small components, supporting easy interaction with vehicle controls and systems. Integrated lighting also enables modern design trends such as black panel surfaces while improving usability and aesthetics.

Ambient RGB

Ambient RGB lighting adds customizable colored lighting to vehicle interiors to enhance the cabin atmosphere and user experience. These highly integrated LED solutions support dynamic and interactive lighting that can connect to specific vehicle functions. Lighting can also be embedded into materials or hidden beneath textiles, becoming visible only when activated to improve interior functionality and design flexibility.

Ambient White

Ambient white lighting provides functional interior illumination with adjustable color temperatures for heavy vehicle cabins. These LED-based lighting solutions offer tunable white light from cool to warm tones, supporting comfort and usability for tasks such as reading or resting. A high color rendering index (CRI) helps ensure accurate color perception in dome lights, reading lights, and general cabin illumination.

Display

Displays provide the main interface between the operator and the vehicle, replacing traditional analog instruments with digital display solutions. Advanced LED backlighting supports higher brightness, improved contrast, and better color accuracy for larger and more detailed screens. These display lighting solutions also help maintain energy efficiency in instrument clusters, infotainment systems, and control panels.

In-Cabin Sensing

In-cabin sensing systems use infrared illumination and sensor technologies to monitor driver behavior and cabin interactions in heavy vehicles. Infrared LEDs and capacitive sensors enable accurate detection of driver presence, hand positioning, and attention levels. These sensing capabilities support enhanced safety features, automation functions, driver monitoring systems, and advanced driver assistance systems.

LiDAR

LiDAR systems use advanced infrared laser technologies to sense vehicle surroundings with high precision. These systems incorporate edge-emitting lasers and VCSEL arrays to provide accurate distance measurement and object detection. High power density and reliable performance enable robust perception for advanced driving systems in challenging environments.

Capacitive Sensor

AS8579 capacitive sensor measures relative changes in capacitance between two electrodes for automotive, industrial, and consumer sensing applications. The sensor uses an I&Q measurement principle to separate resistive and capacitive components for accurate impedance sensing, with capacitance values read and configured through an SPI interface. Touchless, wear-free operation, active shielding, functional safety compliance up to ASIL B, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification support reliable detection and durable operation in safety-critical and long-life applications.

IVT Sensors

AS8512 IVT sensors provide integrated current, voltage, and temperature sensing for industrial, medical, and consumer applications. These sensors measure current values from milliamps up to 1.5kA using a unique measurement principle and communicate through an SPI interface for configuration, status access, and data transfer. High accuracy, 16-bit resolution, offset-free measurement, dual differential input channels, and built-in self-diagnostics support reliable electrical parameter monitoring across energy storage, e-mobility, and battery-driven systems.

Time-of-Flight (ToF) Sensors
