LG drives in infotainment, smart solutions for your car

LG Electronics, India’s largest home appliances maker, is set to diversify into the country’s flourishing automotive market by offering its advanced auto parts such as cockpit electronics, connectivity solutions and infotainment systems through partnerships with automakers like Hyundai, Kia, Renault and Volkswagen.

The South Korean electronics company has also built a team of 2,500 engineers in Bengaluru for developing such products for a global clientele, LG’s global head for the business Valentin Janiaut said. LG has introduced electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions in Korea and the US, and is “paying attention” to India for a rollout since it is also a fast growing EV market, a company spokesperson said separately. “However, nothing is confirmed yet,” the spokesperson said.
