FORVIA HELLA Unveils Aerodynamic Headlamp and Roofmarker Concepts for Enhanced Efficiency and Sustainability

At the IAA Transportation 2024 in Hanover, FORVIA HELLA introduced its latest innovations in truck lighting technology, showcasing aerodynamic headlamps and a new roofmarker concept. These developments are designed to enhance fuel efficiency, and contribute to sustainability goals.

The keypoints in short

• Truck manufacturers aiming for improved aerodynamics and sustainability
• Technological strength from FORVIA HELLA meets these requirements: Aerodynamic front lighting concepts reduce air resistance for lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions
• With a striking visual appeal, featuring EdgeLight technology

FORVIA HELLA's new headlamp designs are not just about illumination—they’re about innovation that drives efficiency. The aerodynamic headlamps are specifically engineered to reduce air resistance, which directly translates to lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions. These slim, streamlined headlamps seamlessly integrate into the truck’s aerodynamic profile, decreasing the coefficient of drag (CW value). This optimization improves overall fuel efficiency, supporting manufacturers in their efforts to meet stricter environmental regulations.

The headlamps utilize highly efficient LEDs, providing longer service life and reducing maintenance needs, ensuring that trucks stay on the road longer. Additionally, upon request, the headlamps can be manufactured using sustainable materials, furthering the conservation of resources and minimizing environmental impact.

Design Excellence with EdgeLight Technology

In addition to their aerodynamic benefits, the new headlamps bring a striking visual appeal to truck design. Featuring EdgeLight technology, the daytime running lights and position lights emit a consistent, homogeneous light signature that enhances the vehicle’s aesthetic both day and night. This not only improves safety by ensuring better visibility but also provides a unique, recognizable design accent that stands out on the road.

Innovative Roofmarker Concept

FORVIA HELLA’s new roofmarker concept sets a new standard for multi-functionality and efficiency. Positioned above the truck’s windscreen, the roofmarker serves as a position light, direction indicator, and high beam. Its streamlined, aerodynamic shape helps reduce air resistance, aligning with the truck’s overall design to further enhance fuel efficiency. By seamlessly embedding into the truck’s front design, the roofmarker concept also contributes to a cohesive, modern aesthetic.
