Paul-Henri Matha gives his feedback and his thoughts, after the Volvo EX90 reveal in Stockholm.
“What an event! I was delighted to hear lots of comments from the journalists during and after the reveal of the headlamp about how cool they are.
“The concept was totally new and represented a new adventure for our team. Low beam and high beam module were not anymore above and below the Hammer, but behind! Engineers were used to see first technical complexity and were very quick to say that it will probably not work. But we still set up a small team to work on this advanced engineering study. Motivation was at a very high level to be able to tackle this innovative concept
“After the first concept in 2D, the next step was the launch of a concept in 3D, with CAD software, done internally by our mechanical engineers, but also with support from Tier1 supplier and Tier2 supplier. These ideas came true and some of the concepts are shown below
“After concept selection, we realized some POCs (Proof of concept sample) which confirmed us that we were on a good track and that we can go to development. Concept was promising!
“We were very proud to show the result during the EX90 reveal in Stockholm. It is the outcome of great teamwork: mechanical designer, mechatronic specialist, electrical engineer, system designer, software developer, legal expert, project leader, ZKW tier1 and tier2 suppliers.
