automotive: motion solutions for mobility.

For years, SONCEBOZ has in-depth understanding of customers' expectations of the passenger cars, commercial vehicles and trucks industry. Long life expectancy and reliability, zero defect and cost-effectiveness on large production quantities, were and remain the driving force behind ongoing development at SONCEBOZ.

Our innovative systems enabled us to consolidate our major position on the world market as a supplier of mechatronic solutions for a limited number of strategic value-added applications. This automotive core expertise is validated by the ISO TS 16949 certification.

Core applications

Tangible results of our automotive expertise come into:

• instrumentation: SONCEBOZ has set up the worldwide standard for instrument clusters with its slimline stepper motor. The MM39 technology is recognized as the benchmark and this cost-effective solution offers robustness and smoothness.
• engine controls: idle air controls valves, by-pass valves, diesel throttle valves, variable valve train or variable geometry turbocharger devices can be driven with our linear actuators or torque motors, dedicated to fuel and energy savings.
• emission controls: combustion engines integrate several systems to control emissions: low or high pressure EGR valves, SCR or urea pumps. To drive efficiently these valves, SONCEBOZ has developed compact, robust solutions with high torque motors.
• CO₂ reduction: SONCEBOZ has developed drive systems to help OEMs to reach the challenge of reducing CO₂ emission. Thermal management is one of our active field where BLDC motors find their way.
• front lighting: adaptive front lighting systems for headlamps, such as DBL, LVL or cutt-off line, feature intelligent linear actuators to bend the light into the right direction.
• driver assistance: adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems require linear actuators to operate smartly and offer the driver a safer road.
