The division Interior is number one worldwide in instrumentation, telematics systems, access systems and body electronics for passenger cars, and number two in radio, air conditioner controllers and tire pressure monitoring systems. It is also the world leader in tachographs, control systems and sensors, instrumentation and complete driver workplaces for commercial vehicles.

The Interior division combines all activities relating to the management and visualization of information in the vehicle. This information is becoming more and more important due to increasing driver demands in the areas of operation, function, and safety. “Always On” is the division’s goal: Drivers should have any information they want available to them at all times, stay connected to the outside world when they want, and retain complete control of the vehicle – with all of this being available at optimum cost to the vehicle manufacturers and consumers. The product portfolio of this division ranges from instrument clusters and access and control systems to audio and navigation platforms as well as telematics systems for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

Interior has 68 locations in 22 countries and is divided into six business units:

• Body & Security
• Connectivity
• Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket
• Instrumentation & Displays
• Interior Modules
• Multimedia
