Volkswagen: Hella earns top honors for LED headlamp concept

The Auto Channel has an interesting article about a LED headlamp concept designed by Hella for Volkswagen.

A prototype headlamp system developed by Hella in cooperation with Volkswagen has received top honors for innovation in a bi-annual competition held by Spain's Society of Automotive Engineers (Sociedad de Tecnicos de Automocion).

Hella's LED headlamp came in first among 87 entries in voting by an international panel of judges. The award was presented to Hella at the recently completed Barcelona Motor Show.

The award-winning design was developed in cooperation with Volkswagen for the Golf 5. It incorporates low beam, high beam, indicator and daytime running lights through the use of future-oriented LED technology.

"LEDs as light sources make it possible to create completely new headlamp shapes and arrangements," notes Dr. Raymund Heinen, president of Hella Lighting North America. "The increased durability of LEDs also may lead to automotive headlamp systems that will function without the need for replacement."
