I met Mino Yamamoto in an X-auto conference some months ago in Paris. She is X-auto President, in addition to her role at Valeo, and we talked about automotive industry challenges, particularly for our lighting industry. I had been thinking about dedicating a long session to sustainability and circularity at a future DVN event. After my talk with Yamamoto, I was convinced I should do just that. In Munich this month we will have a half day dedicated to sustainability, with 12 lectures, and Mino will give the keynote speech.

Online voting is open for this year’s DVN Awards, to be bestowed during the DVN Lighting event in Munich, the evening of 19th February.

We are used to working on AEB requirements by Euro NCAP. This has never been much of a topic for the lighting community. Tests include car to pedestrian, car to bicycle, and car to motorcyclist, with maximum speed 60 km/h. ⅔ of the points are obtained by day, and the others by night. The night tests include street lights and low beams.
