Marelli will showcase their latest speed-to-market innovations at Auto Shanghai 2025, from 23 April to 2 May. They will present the ‘Fast Forward, Forward Fast’ theme, highlighting their commitment to accelerating product development to help carmakers get to market faster. Marelli will offer a curated journey through four distinct areas: a ‘Momentum Lab’ will focus on Marelli’s agile approach to innovation through minimum viable products (MVPs), a ‘Velocity Zone’ will be dedicated to software-defined vehicle (SDV) enablement tools, an ‘Acceleration Lane’ will highlight modular solutions through the supplier’s tiered hardware development platform approach, and the ‘Instant Impact’ area will display ready-to-offer technologies, for immediate deployment.
Lighting will be part of the show with two really promising innovations. First will be the Micro Laser Projector, co-created with Infineon. This display concept decouples the projection function from the surface that shows the information—increasing flexibility and performance while reducing cost. The projection unit is made of three RGB laser sources and a MEMS mirror to form an image by scanning. It will reflect light only when it is needed, reducing energy consumption. It offers flexibility in projection surfaces, accommodating customer preferences such as windshields, console, large information panel, dashboards, and even curved surfaces of various shapes and sizes. It provides outstanding brightness, colour, contrast, and extreme flexibility of applications while always maintaining focus. Subtle ambient lighting and detailed information displays are ensured, resulting in versatility for both day and night use and user convenience through intuitive operation.
Second is the Pixel Rear Lamp demo, which uses TFT-OLED technology to deliver high-resolution displays integrated in rear lamps, aligning with market trends in dynamic communication and personalization.
