Hiroto Saikawa, chief competitive officer, presented the award
to Visteon in a July 14 ceremony at
Nissan's global supplier event in Yokohama, Japan, attended by more than 200
global auto suppliers. "We are honored to be recognized by Nissan
for this innovative instrument cluster, which represents a 'first'
development milestone for both Nissan and Visteon's Japan team," said Visteon's Loick Griselain, vice president, Renault-Nissan
customer group, who accepted the award for the company.
Based on Nissan's mid-sized crossover platform, the Murano
features Visteon's first cluster program with an integrated 7-inch
thin-film-transistor (TFT) display developed for Nissan. The
cluster's advanced graphics were specified by Nissan to give the
driver quick and easy access to vehicle and driving status –
including maps, weather and speed limit – with best-in-class
functionality. It also features turn-by-turn navigation, advanced
driver assistance system (ADAS) warnings, hybrid electric vehicle
(HEV) information management, 3D appliques for analogue gauges and
synchronized control of the brightness of display and vehicle
information.
Supporting 17 languages, the instrument cluster launched on the
Nissan Murano platform across global markets this year.
Headed by Visteon's teams in Yokohama and Hiroshima, Japan, the program was supported by
software and hardware teams in Chennai,
India; Van Buren Township,
Michigan, U.S; and Shanghai,
China.
