Þ paves the way for innovative electronic systems that
further improve performance, safety and environmental
friendliness
Þ is a strong global partnership that creates one common
standard: "Cooperate on standards, compete on
implementation"
Þ is a key enabling technology to manage the growing
electrics/electronics complexity. It aims to be prepared
for the upcoming technologies and to improve cost-
efficiency without making any compromise with respect to
quality
Þ facilitates the exchange and update of software and
hardware over the service life of the vehicle
