Aligned with the Auto China 2016 theme - "Innovation to Transformation" - Visteon will showcase how it is transforming the cockpit electronics experience through its expertise in instrument clusters, head-up displays, information displays, infotainment, connected audio, and connectivity and telematics. Visteon also will show its capabilities to support vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) technology; and wireless gateway, an advanced system providing several forms of connectivity to route in-vehicle data seamlessly and securely.

Along with the latest technology in its core product lines, Visteon will feature SmartCore(TM), a security-focused approach to cockpit module consolidation that addresses the increasing complexity of cockpit electronics to improve the driving experience. Advanced concepts will be spotlighted through an interactive vehicle at Visteon's exhibit, featuring 3-D gesture technology for driver information and infotainment systems that can reduce driver distraction and enhance the user experience.

While Visteon has had a strong presence in China for many years, this is the first time the company is participating in the Auto China show in Beijing. Visteon will demonstrate how it is well-positioned to provide automakers in China and globally with a full range of products in a cockpit electronics segment that research shows has a major influence on customer satisfaction - and which is projected to grow more than twice as fast as the overall automotive market.

"We are enthused about the opportunity to demonstrate at this major show in Asia - our largest global market - how we are applying software and new technology to transform how drivers and passengers interact with information and entertainment more safely, securely and enjoyably," said Visteon President and CEO Sachin Lawande.

"As the only Tier 1 supplier exclusively focused on vehicle cockpit electronics, we aim to be a leader in new technology initiatives in the areas of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), V2X and autonomous driving," Lawande added. "At Beijing, we will be displaying current core technology and advanced concepts that provide the foundation for our leadership in these fast-growing segments."

Highlights of Visteon's core product lines to be shown at Auto China 2016 include:
