Complete Electronic Solutions from Hella

HELLA is one of the world’s leading suppliers and developers of electronic micro-hybrid components. These include the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), which many car manufacturers use as a key part of their vehicle energy management systems. The sensor system ascertains the battery’s status and always delivers precise power, voltage and temperature readings. This data can then be used to redistribute energy within the vehicle so that it is used as optimally as possible. The IBS sensor is able to reduce CO₂ emissions by around 2.4 g/km. HELLA Group also offers voltage stabilisers to enhance start/stop systems. These products reduce emissions and fuel consumption when a vehicle is waiting, for example, at railway crossings or traffic lights.

From seat controls, convenient remote locking systems and receiver control units to passive vehicle unlocking and starting systems, HELLA Group offers a wide range of solutions for maximum driving comfort and is constantly working on new and improved assistance systems to enhance driver safer on the road. Our most successful product (with 850,000 units sold) is our lane change assist based on 24 GHz radar sensors. This system constantly monitors the area behind the car when changing lanes and alerts the driver to vehicles approaching from behind or in the next lane. Another device that also uses 24 GHz radar sensors is our safe distance system: the system warns drivers if they are not keeping to an optimal distance behind the vehicle ahead, but does not automatically intervene in the driving.
