Development of the electronics in our vehicles - modification to the wiring Peugeot 406 I

Emission control standards, safety and user comfort result in a constant increase in the number of electronic functions in our vehicles

(1) год

(2) length of wiring in metres

(3) number of connections

This generates a major modification to the wiring

  • Increased complexity of the harnesses
  • Increase in the weight and volume of the harnesses
  • Increase in the number of connections

A top of the range vehicle has approximately 40 kg of harnesses with a length of more than 2 km

It is estimated that the harnesses double in volume and complexity every 10 years

This increase in wiring poses problems such as

  • Design and manufacture
  • Cost
  • Bulk
  • Reliability
  • Поиск неисправностей

To face up to all these problems, reduction in the volume of the wiring is therefore a major challenge in the years to come
