SEOUL: One of the few products that are seeing great growth in the face of a pandemic are automotive lamps.

Hyundai Mobis is expanding export of such lamps, and recently announced US$830mil (RM3.4bil) worth of orders from global automakers as well as new EV makers.

The Hyundai Motor subsidiary said it aims to win more deals with a differentiated strategy for building a competitive advantage by developing cutting-edge lamp technology for future mobility.

Notably, most of the orders were for high value-added products, such as matrix beam headlights and high-performance rear lamps.


Hyundai Mobis was the first to develop Advanced Adaptive Driving Beam (AADB). It works in sync with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and HLED, which integrates the tail and the stop light in a single LED with only 5.5mm thickness, thus taking the lead with next-generation lighting technology.

It is also developing lamps that work with ADAS, and lamps with a slimmer and differentiated design that has built-in controller electronics.

Some of its innovations are HD head lamp system that shows road information and a digital lamp system.

These systems are centered around lamp technology that enables the driver to communicate through lamps and are expected to preempt future trends towards autonomous driving.

In addition, Hyundai Mobis said it would deliver differentiated lamp technologies, such as grille lighting dedicated to EVs and comprehensive control of various lamp signals.
