Strategic US-China Joint R&D Engineering Model
In 2018, EWA Technology was selected to develop a customized smart cockpit system for Saleen Automotive.
Because high-performance sports cars require a precise combination of electronics, aesthetics, and mechanical durability, EWA established a collaborative US-China R&D engineering model for the project. This approach brought together international automotive engineering requirements with EWA’s manufacturing and development capabilities.
As a result, the two engineering teams could coordinate structural design, electronic development, software customization, and production preparation more efficiently. This integrated workflow also helped ensure consistent technical requirements throughout the development process.
Full-Stack Custom Automotive Display Development
As an experienced custom automotive display supplier, EWA handled multiple stages of the project internally. This reduced communication gaps between engineering functions while supporting faster development and tighter quality control.
Core Engineering Deliverables
1. Precision Structural Tooling and Mold Design
EWA developed custom-molded housings for the cockpit system. The structures were engineered to withstand the vibration, temperature variation, and demanding operating conditions associated with high-performance vehicles.
2. Customized Cockpit UI/UX Design
The user interface was customized around Saleen’s brand identity and driver-oriented requirements. The resulting interface was designed to provide intuitive control while maintaining a cohesive cockpit appearance.
3. Powertrain and Driving Condition Integration
EWA calibrated the display system and car audio control module to work with vehicle operating information and driving conditions. This helped integrate the electronic cockpit functions into the vehicle’s overall control environment.
International Compliance and Automotive Quality Testing
Automotive electronic systems must maintain stable operation while minimizing electromagnetic interference with other vehicle systems. Therefore, compliance testing was an important part of the Saleen project.
The customized cockpit system completed the required testing, including:
- US FCC Compliance: Supporting electromagnetic compatibility requirements for electronic and wireless functions.
- Automotive EMC Testing: Evaluating electromagnetic emissions and immunity to help prevent interference with vehicle ECUs and onboard electronic systems.
Following engineering validation and final approval, the system entered mass production. EWA subsequently supported long-term supply of customized automotive center console displays for Saleen’s internal combustion engine (ICE) performance vehicle lineup.
