of choice in new vehicles, predicts Wolfgang Huhn, general manager of lighting technology for Volkswagen AG’s Audi arm. He made the assertion during a panel discussion this week at the Convergence 2008 automotive electronics conference in Detroit.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ppc1904.com/whatsnew/?a=news_20081024"><DIV>
LEDs, which are rapidly gaining ground in rear lighting systems and select front functions, are just now being adopted for full headlight systems. The first two applications were introduced this year as options on the Audi R8 supercar and Cadillac Escalade SUV.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ppc1904.com/whatsnew/?a=news_20081024">Huhn says the higher efficiency can translate into 2% greater fuel economy for the vehicle—and make them essential for next-generation electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7B60B391-062A-4C3A-91AD-742CC4890608/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
