Our goal is to be the best partner for automobile manufacturers
Developing a product by designing not each component, but a set of components or a module, can reduce the number of parts and weight as well as contribute to fuel economy. A good example of the benefits of this approach is increased cabin space created by modularizing the cockpit. In the area of manufacturing as well, changes in production methods as a result of modularization increase work efficiency for both automakers and suppliers. However, since modules are deeply related to car body design, in ways such as rigidity in collisions, only a limited number of suppliers are capable of such development. Calsonic Kansei is a supplier that can provide modules on a global scale. We are striving to be recognized by automakers as their best partner by developing and manufacturing modules in cooperation with them.
The cockpit module is mounted on the steering member at the base behind the panel integrating the instrument panel, air conditioning unit, instrument cluster, air bag module, electronic control unit, audio system, wiring harness, steering column, etc. We devote its unique outstanding technologies to development of the attractive module products for the next generation, giving priority to systemization, integration, lighter weight, cost reduction, high-performance and recycling efficiency.
The front end module integrates radiator, condenser, radiator core support, bumper, head lamps and other parts to enhance structure and functionality. 5-1/ By integrating the front end parts centering on the radiator core support, Calsonic Kansei is making it easy to assemble and dissemble, as well as achieving a reduction in parts count, lighter weight and cost savings.
