- Wireless charging solution – Visteon is one of the first
automotive suppliers to bring wireless charging into a high-volume
production vehicle platform. Visteon's technology provides a
convenient way to ensure portable electronics equipped with
compatible inductive charging receivers are always charged and
ready to go, eliminating the need for dedicated power cords for
each portable device in the vehicle. The user simply places the
device on Visteon's charger, and power is transferred wirelessly to
the portable device, at a rate comparable to a plug-in power
cord.
- Mid-range driver information platform – Designed to meet
ever-increasing demands for higher-resolution color displays in
vehicles at a competitive cost, this platform features high-quality
graphics, video and animation on up to two TFT displays, combined
with traditional analog gauges. The scalability feature can be
applied to a wide range of vehicle segments, making this platform
particularly attractive to vehicle manufacturers.
- Enhanced connectivity solution for audio infotainment –
Addressing consumers' needs for easy and convenient integration of
their electronic devices into the vehicle, Visteon has developed a
wide range of connectivity solutions to include a smartphone remote
control featuring Bluetooth® wireless technology and an optical
media-less audio system solution with USB and SD card port.
Climate Solutions
As an authoritative leader in automotive thermal management,
Visteon has broad capabilities, from serving small-car segments
with cost-effective technology and packaging to supporting new
energy vehicles with advanced solutions.
"Our strong technical competencies and market insights allow us

Visteon's exhibit features a wide range of "green" automotive
climate systems and components, including:
- Compact HVAC – Incorporates a heating, ventilation and
air conditioning (HVAC) module and thin heat exchangers that
contribute to higher performance in a package that is smaller,
lighter and consumes less energy than traditional units.
- Electric compressor – A compressor that operates
independently from the engine, thus enabling it to pre-condition
the cabin for increased passenger comfort. Its compact design
enhances packaging space under the hood. This environment-friendly
compressor can be used for all vehicle types, including hybrid or
fully electric vehicles.
- Rotary suction compressor – An efficient compressor that
supports improved fuel economy through its higher efficiency
refrigerant flow design and lighter weight compared with a
traditional fixed displacement compressor.
- A/C lines and metal seal fittings − An internal heat
exchanger that enhances cooling efficiency, along with Visteon's
patented fitting technology that enables zero refrigerant
leakage.
