Role in the project

Vehicle lighting was the very first field that allowed HELLA to grow, so there is still a close association between the HELLA brand and lighting of various kinds. Our experience in lighting products for automotive industry covers more than 100 years. We offer a wide range of products covering all aspects of vehicle lighting, from headlamps and combination rear lamps to signal lamps, interior lamps and lighting electronics.

This experience allows to assume responsibility for Light°360 Concept inside the interACT EU-funded project. As WP4-leader HELLA will play the significant role regarding HMI – the visible core of the whole design.
