“Localizing production of camera systems and backlight units strengthens our ability to scale, innovate, and deliver next-generation cockpit technologies more efficiently to global markets.” Sachin Lawande, President and CEO, Visteon
Visteon, a global leader in automotive cockpit electronics and connected car solutions, has launched in-house manufacturing of its next-generation high-resolution Analog and Digital Camera System and Display Backlight Unit (BLU) at its Chennai facility in India. This marks a significant step forward in the company’s strategy to deliver a safer, more advanced driving experience.
The new production lines will build analog and digital cameras with 1.3 MP-8MP HD resolution, offering significantly sharper visuals than traditional automotive cameras. Designed to support modern high-definition in-car displays, these cameras are also optimized for seamless integration with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), helping drivers park, maneuver, and navigate with greater safety and precision.
“India plays a critical role in our vertical integration strategy,” said Sachin Lawande, President and CEO of Visteon. “Localizing production of camera systems and backlight units strengthens our ability to scale, innovate, and deliver next-generation cockpit technologies more efficiently to global markets.”
By localizing manufacturing, Visteon is not only enhancing product quality and accelerating innovation but also reinforcing India’s role as a key technology and manufacturing hub. This investment strengthens the company’s ability to respond rapidly to regional market demands while supporting India’s growth in high-tech automotive production.
This expansion compliments Visteon’s existing display manufacturing in India, creating a more cohesive, vertically integrated production ecosystem for next-generation cockpit solutions. By aligning key stages of its operations – from display assembly to core component manufacturing – Visteon is positioned to accelerate product development, continue ensuring consistent quality, and better meet the evolving needs of Indian and global car makers.
