Marelli recently announced that its innovative, fully integrated, touch-enabled headlights have entered mass production on the Changan Qiyuan A06 model. This product sets a new benchmark for automotive design aesthetics and lighting interaction with its innovative touch interaction, seamless integration design, and vehicle-level cybersecurity solution.
**Pioneering Design Drives Industry Innovation**
Marelli’s fully integrated headlight system for the Changan Qiyuan A06 represents a historic breakthrough in the automotive lighting industry. As a fully integrated headlight system with touch technology, it completely breaks through the limitations of traditional design, perfectly integrating high and low beams, turn signals, daytime running lights, and the brand logo light into a nearly 2-meter-long body, achieving true full-function integration.
More importantly, this is also an innovative product that integrates touch interaction technology into the lighting system and perfectly blends with the brand logo, truly making the light not only “visible” but also “interactive.” Users simply double-tap the front logo area, and the logo light will dynamically illuminate to provide visual feedback, while simultaneously opening the front trunk automatically. A dual feedback mechanism provides users with an intuitive and convenient interactive experience.
The continuous headlight uses a 15 × 120 mm thin headlight module, significantly reducing component thickness while ensuring functional integrity, giving designers a high degree of creative freedom. High-precision optical design ensures uniform brightness and continuous lines throughout the entire light strip, achieving high-quality illumination within a nearly 2-meter-long body. This ensures the integrity of the front design and presents the futuristic and streamlined aerodynamic design of the Changan Qiyuan A06. The innovative hidden logo touch design is cleverly integrated into the overall shape, injecting a new connotation of intelligent interaction into the headlight function without affecting the vehicle’s aesthetics and lighting effect. This ingenious design concept reflects Marelli’s profound understanding of the integration of design aesthetics and functionality.
Innovative Technology Ensures an Ultimate Experience
The automotive environment is exceptionally complex and diverse. To ensure users receive a consistent interactive experience under any conditions, the fully functional integrated continuous headlight employs advanced multi-layer media touch technology. Through a high-precision, all-scenario touch control algorithm design, even after passing through a complex three-layer medium structure (including a 3mm PC outer lens, a 5mm air gap, and a 1.5mm PC decorative cover thickness), the logo light maintains stable and reliable touch control functionality under various weather conditions and temperatures, including strong winds, rain, and snow, and prevents accidental triggering due to foreign objects covering the touch area.
In terms of safety, the entire headlight system is also equipped with Security Boot technology, effectively ensuring the accuracy and security of information transmission and preventing malicious attacks. Furthermore, the headlight controller has passed the stringent ASIL-B functional safety certification and fully complies with the LIN bus consistency standard, providing a solid guarantee for the stability and reliability of system operation.
Notably, the touch control software also features OTA remote upgrade functionality and meets the latest cybersecurity requirements. This means the system can be continuously optimized and upgraded while maintaining a high level of security protection, truly achieving a perfect balance between intelligence and security.
Dedicated Production Line Ensures Quality Standards
To ensure the quality of mass-produced products, Marelli China has also built a dedicated production line for through-type lights at its Xiaogan factory in Hubei Province. This production line utilizes specialized manufacturing equipment and processes to ensure that every product meets Marelli’s global quality standards. The professional production layout reflects Marelli’s stringent quality requirements and unwavering commitment to the market. Simultaneously, the highly integrated design concept and the advantages of large-scale production also give this full-featured continuous headlight system a significant cost advantage.
Cao Ziyue, Vice President of the Magneti Marelli Group, Head of Global Core Technologies and Forward-Looking Innovation for Magneti Marelli’s Automotive Lighting Division, and General Manager of Asia Pacific, stated, “This fully functional integrated headlight is a major innovation in automotive lighting design. Its unique touch-sensitive experience, like the finishing touch, elevates traditional lighting functions to a fully intelligent interactive experience, truly achieving a perfect fusion of aesthetics and technology. This reflects our understanding of ‘valuable innovation’—we design not only technological possibilities, but also truly important user experience and safety values.”
Shen Kelei, Global Executive Vice President and President of Magneti Marelli China, emphasized, “This collaboration with Changan Automobile in the field of automotive lighting marks Magneti Marelli’s deep integration into China’s innovation ecosystem. Based on a precise understanding of the forward-looking needs of Chinese consumers, we have successfully transformed the fully functional integrated headlight system with integrated touch technology from concept to reality. In the future, we will continue to deepen our strategic collaboration with local partners, transforming technological innovation into a safer, more efficient, and more user-friendly travel experience.”
With the mass production of the Changan Qiyuan A06, this fully functional integrated headlight with integrated touch technology will officially meet consumers. This not only showcases Marelli’s leading innovation capabilities, but will also bring a brand-new interactive experience to the automotive lighting industry, driving the continuous development of intelligent and integrated vehicles.
