Renault’s 5 has just been elected European Car of the Year. A lot of lighting suppliers were proud to communicate that they are part of the project:
- Antolin: LED modules, reading lamps, and pillar trim (on top of headliners, door panels)
- Valeo: headlamp and rear lamp
- Flex-N-Gate: vehicle state-of-charge indicator lamp with bars that light up progressively to reveal the emblematic number 5 once the charge is complete. It also incorporates a friendly welcome / good-bye button as the driver approaches or leaves the vehicle.
Flex-N-Gate commented that this product is the result of development between several FNG departments in France, Spain, and the USA, highlighting the crucial importance of synergy of skills and expertise around the world, as well as much-appreciated collaboration with Renault. FNG produces this indicator module at their FNG Plasticos and FNG Marines plants, and the technical front panel at their FNG Espana and FNG Marles les Mines plants.
