Foursprung: New cockpit architecture

Siemens VDO is coming up with a fully operational Cesar (cockpit electro-mechanical system architecture) modular concept.

Compared to conventional cockpits, Cesar offers OEM customers the possible opportunity to lower cockpit design costs by up to 30 percent at higher quality standards. Cesar also reduces weight by approximately 15 percent and increases available space by up to 20 litres. It offers a more system-oriented approach and has redesigned the cockpit development process,
instead of developing the cockpit and instrumentation from scratch for each model. The system as a whole, rather than the individual components, is the initial point of departure for the vision of a vehicle's interior design.
