Seoul – October 06, 2026 -- LG Electronics will supply an integrated cockpit solution for Renault Group's New Trafic E-Tech Electric, marking the automaker's first mass-produced commercial vehicle built on a software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture.

LG combines instrument cluster and infotainment into a single control platform

The solution merges the instrument cluster, which displays vehicle speed, RPM and warning indicators, with the infotainment system handling navigation and media playback. This consolidation replaces the dozens of dedicated electronic control units (ECUs) found in conventional vehicles with a centralized software architecture, a shift that also enables over-the-air feature upgrades.
