DEPO Allying ARTC for ADB Technology

Building intelligent automotive lighting to enhance competitiveness of Taiwan’s automotive industry

October 20, 2020 , Changhua News - Today marks the announcement of global automotive lamp manufacturing leader - DEPO AUTO PARTS IND. CO., LTD. (DEPO, TWSE:6605) partnering with Automotive Research and Testing Center (ARTC) in forming ADB (Adaptive Driving Beam) Alliance, which will jointly develop intelligent ADB automotive lighting and establish a new automotive lighting technology for Taiwan’s automotive industry.

DEPO who focuses on R&D and innovation, has been long cooperating with ARTC for numerous of technology development. The two organization have observed that the global automotive lighting technology is changing rapidly. Among them, the adaptive intelligent headlight (ADB) can ensure that when driving at night. In addition to illuminating the front view, the car lamp can detect the oncoming vehicle and the vehicle in front through the lamps camera, integrate the image and optical space coordinates, and then control the new LED matrix headlights to produce automatic light avoidance functions. This is to protect the oncoming vehicle or the vehicle in front from being affected by glare and causing traffic accidents and has become the mainstream of automotive lighting design in recent years. Therefore, it was decided to integrate the technology and experiences of ARTC to establish ADB Alliance. DEPO Research & Development, and it’s manufacturing competitiveness. It is believed that Taiwan’s intelligent automotive lighting industry can be established.

Mr. Hsu, the CEO of DEPO, said: “DEPO invests 5% of its annual revenue in innovation and development.
