With a festive ceremony, Eberspächer officially opened the new Asia Test Center in Shanghai this January. On an area of 3,800 square meters, the Exhaust Technology Division bundels the whole Eberspächer exhaust technology testing expertise – from a prototype shop to SCR performance testing for Diesel engines up to acoustic testing of noise emissions. The Test Center is directly attached to the existing Eberspächer site in Shanghai, Jiading. Here, over 400 employees develop and manufacture exhaust systems for passenger cars and commercial vehicles since 2011. Eberspächer's many years of expertise are in demand with customers in Asia to develop more complex exhaust-emission control systems for the ever stricter emission norms, particularly in China.

Automated vehicles require one thing above all: reliability and stable electrical systems. To secure safety-relevant functions such as braking and electrical steering assistance, is one of the main requirements for tomorrow´s mobility. The solution: Intelligent switching systems from Eberspaecher, that separate electrical system sections safely in case of voltage surges or sags. The Automotive Controls division offers this safety for autonomous vehicles up to future level 5 requirements. The Autonomous Driving Safety Switch is used in 12 volt electrical systems with at least two energy sources. In fully automated vehicles with high-voltage/low-voltage on-board circuits, the Battery and Boardnet Safety Module provides an intelligent distribution of current and ensures a reliable power supply for safety-relevant components. The systems advantages are an ASIL D classified combination of a microcontroller and system basis chip as well as the customer-specific control software. Further information

It's dark outside and the first frost makes the morning drive to work even more uncomfortable. Winter means one thing for drivers without a garage – ice scraping and cold fingers. But there is a solution: the pre-heater. While the neighbor has to scratch, owners of a Hydronic S3 Economy can comfortably have breakfast at home and get ready for the day. The motto is "prefer hot coffee instead of cold fingers in the morning". And with the pre-heater it's quite simple: One click via Smartphone, Smartwatch or with the classical remote control is enough. The heater already warms up the interior of the vehicle and defrosts the windows. Anyone who has not yet installed a vehicle heater can have it retrofitted at an Eberspächer partner workshop.
