About the Company
A Global Technology Leader, Focused on Automotive Cockpit Electronics Visteon designs, engineers and manufactures vehicle cockpit electronics products and connected car solutions that deliver a rich, connected experience for drivers and passengers. As one of the most recognized automotive suppliers in the world, Visteon is technology-driven, flexible and enjoys a diversified customer base and broad global footprint. The cockpit electronics market is one of the fastest-growing segments of the automotive industry – expected to be 40 to 45 percent of the industry`s total buy in the next decade. As one of the world`s three largest cockpit electronics providers – and the only one focused exclusively on this segment – Visteon is well-positioned to capitalize on this growth. Today, automakers generally offer consumers cockpit electronics products separately, but that is expected to transform to a holistic experience driven from an integrated, single device. Electronic module consolidation will bring new opportunities to enhance the user experience for driver-driven vehicles, semi-autonomous vehicles, and eventually fully autonomous vehicles. Visteon`s 11,000 employees around the world are dedicated to applying our talent, technology and global resources to this exciting transformation of the vehicle cockpit electronics experience.
