Generic Cluster Platform Concept

The Generic Cluster concept enables commercial vehicle manufacturers to benefit from an instrument cluster that can be easily adapted to suit different equipment levels and vehicle classes. Synergies between different vehicle series can be realized without the need for major investment.

The Generic Cluster is based on three distinct, standardized hardware platforms, which differ only with regard to control and communication functionality. Depending on the requirement, the core electronic platform features different interface designs.

Reliability of the corresponding software is enhanced by automatic code generation and validation. Specific software extensions are possible by way of simple add-ons.

- Benefits: greater cost efficiency, shorter development timescales, and significantly lower qualification and system costs.
