The development trend of automotive wiring harness system:
Electrification and hybrid: With the rise of electric vehicles and hybrid models, the demand for high-voltage wiring harness systems is increasing. These systems require more powerful batteries and electric motors, thus presenting new challenges to the design and materials of wiring harnesses.
Intelligent and autonomous driving: Modern vehicles are becoming increasingly intelligent, equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving technology. This has led to the need for more complex, high-bandwidth data transmission and processing, driving the evolution of wire harness systems towards high-speed data transmission and smart sensor integration.
Lightweighting and space optimization: Lightweighting is an important trend in the automotive industry as it helps improve fuel efficiency and the range of electric vehicles. Automotive manufacturers and suppliers are increasingly focusing on weight reduction when designing harness systems, while optimizing harness layout to maximize the use of vehicle interior space.
Modular design: In order to improve manufacturing efficiency and flexibility, the manufacturing of automotive wiring harness systems tends to be modular design. Modular wiring harnesses make it easier to install, maintain and upgrade, while reducing production costs.
Green technology and sustainability: There is an increasing focus on sustainability in the automotive industry. In the manufacturing of wire harness systems, the use of environmentally friendly materials and production processes to reduce the impact on the environment has become an important development direction.
Self-healing harness technology: In response to the reliability and durability of harness systems, several studies are exploring self-healing harness technology, where systems can automatically detect and repair electrical problems through smart materials and sensors.
5G and communication technology: With the promotion of 5G technology, automotive wiring harness systems will better support high-speed, low-latency communication needs. This is essential for the vehicle’s interior and the vehicle’s connection to the outside world.
Safety and protection performance: For automotive wiring harness systems, safety is a primary concern. The development direction includes improving the anti-interference ability, fire performance and the ability to resist harsh environments of the wiring harness system.
