81 Kapsch has recently become a member of the Car2Car Communication Consortium, an association of European vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, IT companies and research organisations. The goal of the Consortium is the improvement of both safety and efficiency of road traffic by means of new communication technology.

Toward this end, it is dedicated to the standardisation and improved use of technology for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication as well as vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, together, referred to as V2X.

“When it comes to V2X, cross-industry cooperation essential,” explains Georg Kapsch, CEO of the Kapsch Group. “Integrating vehicles into a communication infrastructure is the basis for solutions that not only enable better traffic management but also increase safety and security in road traffic and reduce the environmental impact. V2X technology is considered one of the key elements of automated driving in the future.”

Kapsch Components, the Kapsch Group’s production company, will contribute its expertise in the development of specialised radio modules designed specifically for the diverse requirements and formats of V2X technology to the Consortium.
