Mobility environment
The growing demand for mobility and the continuous need to preserve our environment are radically changing the automotive industry, its products and services. Self-driving transportation and car sharing are revolutionizing our commute with connectivity bringing together a wide range of innovative mobility solutions. Those solutions are shaping new business models and re-defining the customer experience of transportation.
CASE/MaaS
CASE refers to the mobility evolution through “Connected car”, “Autonomous vehicles”, “Shared driving”, “Electric cars”. In other words: being connected to more and more information or service, growing vehicles autonomous functions to reduce road accidents, implementing shared driving for everyone mobility, switching thermic engines to more Electrical vehicles to limit CO2 emissions.MaaS stands for “Mobility as a Service”. It covers all initiatives taken to ease urban journeys by switching from mobility based on private cars to mobility services. Such services combine public and private transportation, connected devices and innovative service providers.
Glass added value
AGC Automotive is actively taking part in the ongoing transformation rethinking the current role of glass in various mobility contexts. Indeed, AGC develops new cutting-edge solutions to bring more value to a broader range of customers (vehicle manufacturer, mobility service provider, end-user).
Our new products
Wideye ® Glass for Sensors
While leading technology partners focus on creating a demand for SENSOR systems in autonomous vehicle landscape, we already focus on bringing this technology to automotive requirements, including the management of safety, and seamless design.Our glass solutions are optically transparent, in the visible and infrared spectrum. Those solutions, combined with our and near infrared unique Wideye team expertise will help you design, prototype and industrialize the perfect integration of your sensor modules.
Cover glass
We, AGC Automotive, have a wide range of technologies on regarding 'Cover Glass for Car-Mounted Displays'.AGC can provide flat, curved and our mixed complex shapes cover glass, which is integrated seamlessly with the car interior and contribute to its unified design.High quality can be ensured through a fully-integrated process that covers everything from chemically strengthened glass, to forming complex shape, and applying the optical thin-film coating and surface decoration printing.
5G
5G radio signals for stable, high-speed mobile communication are expected to transform vehicles in to 'Mobile Connected Device'.We, AGC Automotive, have designed and developed The 5G 28GHz band compatible on-glass antennas, which are not easily seen from the exterior and can be installed on glass surfaces without affecting the vehicle design.In 2018, we achieved the world's first 8Gbps 5G communications with a fast-moving vehicle equipped with On-Glass Antennas in a field trial.
Connected glass applique
CASE-mega trends (i.e autonomous driving, car sharing) will offer the opportunity to transfer the applique into a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) between car and user.Glass as material of the applique will provide the possibility to integrate cameras, displays, antennas and other technical features.
