The Electrical System - [STAGING] Nexans Autoelectric

Vehicle electrical systems are the backbone of modern vehicles – they distribute energy, transmit data, and ensure critical functions. They connect essential vehicle components such as airbags or driver assistance systems with control units, sensors, and actuators, ensuring a stable power and data supply at high speed so that safety-critical functions operate reliably at all times.

At Nexans autoelectric, we develop vehicle electrical systems based on profound understanding of electrical architecture, signaling, and power electronics. To achieve this, we use proprietary IT tools and rely on highly automated manufacturing processes and sustainable materials.

The result: Smart, high-performance vehicle electrical systems that save space and weight, reduce CO2 emissions, and make mobility safe and user-friendly.

Securely Networking Energy and Data

From e-motor to LEDs: The vehicle electrical system is the central infrastructure of every vehicle. It interconnects control units, sensors, and actuators – precisely, reliably, and quickly. Especially in highly automated driver assistance systems and autonomous driving functions, the vehicle electrical system is decisive for functionality and safety.

Redundant cable ducts, smart security concepts, and sophisticated architectures ensure consistent functionality in every – even the most critical – driving situation.

Mastering Complexity, Saving Resources

Modern vehicle wiring systems are highly customized and complex, with increasing demands placed on installation space, weight, and electromagnetic compatibility.

With flexible platform concepts and adaptable components for different performance requirements, we create tailor-made solutions, adapted to a wide range of vehicle models and drive concepts.

Vehicle Electrical Systems of the Future
Ultra-Smart
Consistently Sustainable
Uncompromisingly Safe

Zonal architectures, high-speed data communication, predictive maintenance, and consistent resource minimization facilitate the rapid development of vehicle electrical system technology.

We are already working on the next generation of vehicle electrical system. With our concept developments, we can significantly reduce the number of components, simplify the cable architecture, and make cables significantly lighter. Software-controlled energy and data highways will play a key role in future vehicles. Nexans autoelectric helps reamaking it come true by providing robust solutions.

Customer-specific wire harnesses – maximum individuality

Every vehicle is unique, made to match the customer’s very own requirements, and so is its vehicle electrical system – the nervous system in cars and trucks. Customer-specific wire harnesses must cover a wide variety, as they are precisely tailored to the respective vehicle configuration. For us as a supplier of vehicle electrical systems, this means production with batch sizes of one as well as accurate management of development, production, and logistics within a minimum of time.

Smart Automation – for More Efficiency, Resilience, and Sustainability

High process reliability, low error rates, stable supply chains, and CO2 reduction –at competitive costs: All of these factors are key requirements for today’s manufacturing of vehicle electrical systems. Our answer: Networked production with a high degree of automation, coherent product design, and intelligent process technology.

Safety-relevant vehicle electrical systems – when it matters

Reliable assistance systems and autonomous driving functions require an error-free vehicle electrical system to function. Vehicle manufacturers therefore systematically evaluate safety-relevant risks and define clear safety targets.
Nexans autoelectric develops these vehicle electrical systems in accordance with ISO 26262, the highest standard for functional safety. With precise analyses and a clear safety strategy, we guarantee a high level of reliability and support safe integration into modern vehicle architectures.
