Dear Members,

It's always amazing how quickly developments occur throughout the auto industry. This week we look at news in Suspension Systems as well as in the Downsizing of Engines and Turbocharging.

"It is not just lighting that helps bring out the true greatness of design features, but it is also the design that can provide a playground for the light to play in the interior of a car", says Optic Development Engineer Ana Bižal from HELLA in this week’s interview. Everyone with a sense for innovative interior design will agree to that. Read the whole interview to get up to date in lighting design.

And finally, don’t forget to get your copy of Rogue Wave’s latest Whitepaper "Three Strategies to reduce risks in Automotive/In-Vehicle software."

As always, I look forward to hearing your comments and thoughts. So, unless you’re already too busy with the upcoming holiday stress, Tweet us, share your thoughts on LinkedIn and get in touch.

Kind regards,

Matthias Marx
