Today, LG Electronics officially announced that it will supply its integrated cockpit solution for Renault Group’s New Trafic E-Tech Electric, the automaker’s first mass-produced commercial vehicle built on a software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture.
“Building on our close collaboration with Renault Group and other global automakers, we will continue to advance the core technologies and solutions needed to support the mobility industry’s transition to SDVs,” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution (VS) Company.

Combining the instrument cluster and infotainment system, LG’s unified solution plays an integral role in the vehicle, enabling a more seamless and intuitive user experience while supporting a software-centric approach to vehicle development. The cluster element provides driving information such as vehicle speed, revolutions per minute (RPM) and warning indicators, while the infotainment system supports features including navigation and media playback. This allows driving and infotainment information to be presented in a more consistent and intuitive way across the vehicle’s displays.
LG’s integrated cockpit solution is optimised for SDVs. SDVs use high-performance computing and a centralised software architecture to integrate the control of multiple vehicle functions. Another key advantage of SDVs is the ability to continuously add new features and upgrade existing ones via over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
LG was recognised by Renault Group as an outstanding supplier in 2014, 2017 and 2020, and the two companies worked together to develop an Android-based automotive infotainment system in 2021. Building on this proven collaboration, LG developed and delivered an integrated cockpit solution tailored for Renault Group’s first production SDV.
LG plans to further expand its partnerships with major global automakers across North America, Asia and other key markets, strengthening its position as a trusted supplier in the fast-growing SDV automotive electronics market.
