LG Electronics to Supply Next-Generation Integrated Cockpit to Renault's First Commercial SDV... "Leading the Automotive Electronics Market"

Renault’s ‘New Traffic E-Tech Electric’
Significant Upgrades in Visibility, UX, and UI
"The Result of a Decade-Long Partnership with Renault"

LG Electronics is accelerating its efforts to lead the global SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle) electronics market by supplying next-generation integrated cockpit solutions to the first commercial SDV in Europe.

LG Electronics announced that it will supply a cockpit solution that integrates and controls the instrument cluster and infotainment system for Renault Group's 'New Traffic E-Tech Electric,' the first commercial Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) in Europe. LG Electronics

On October 6, LG Electronics announced that it will supply its next-generation integrated cockpit solution to Renault Group's ‘New Traffic E-Tech Electric,’ the first commercial SDV model in Europe and the winner of the ‘2027 International Van of the Year’ award.

The supplied solution is optimized for SDVs, featuring high-performance computing and a centralized software architecture that enables integrated vehicle control. Traditional vehicles operated dozens of electronic control units (ECUs) for each function—such as cockpit, driving assistance, and powertrain—independently. In contrast, LG Electronics' integrated cockpit centrally controls both the instrument cluster, which displays speed, revolutions per minute (RPM), and warning lights, and the infotainment system, which supports navigation, media playback, and more. This creates an intuitive and unified user experience (UX) and user interface (UI), organically presenting a wide range of information to improve visibility for users. Automakers can also reduce production costs through simplified components and optimized design.

Another key feature is the ability to continuously upgrade advanced functions—such as artificial intelligence (AI)-based features—through over-the-air software updates.

LG Electronics’ ability to offer advanced SDV-customized solutions stems from its accumulated expertise in manufacturing, UX, and UI, gathered through years of experience in TVs, home appliances, and mobile devices, as well as its longstanding partnership with Renault Group. LG Electronics was recognized as an outstanding supplier by Renault Group in 2014, 2017, and 2020, and since 2021, the two companies have jointly developed an Android-based in-vehicle infotainment system, maintaining a close cooperative relationship for more than ten years.

In addition to Renault Group, LG Electronics is expanding its partnerships with major global automakers in North America, Asia, and elsewhere, aiming to position itself as a trusted supplier in the rapidly growing SDV electronics market.

Seokhyun Eun, president and head of LG Electronics’ Vehicle Solutions (VS) Business Division, emphasized, “Based on close collaboration with global automakers, including Renault Group, we will continue to develop the core technologies and solutions needed for the mobility industry’s transition to SDVs.”
