Under the motto “All-in-glass solutions. One Partner.”, AGC Automotive will present a wide range of cutting-edge glass technologies at the IAA Summit in Munich from September 8–12, 2025. At booth B10 in Hall A1, AGC will display market-ready innovations designed to elevate visibility, connectivity, safety, and comfort.
A highlight: the next-generation Windshield Black-band P-polarized HUD, which uses a black-enameled strip across the bottom of the windshield to project information – offering clear visibility even in bright sunlight thanks to its P-polarized coating. Also on display: the FeelInGlass® Reflective Blade, a P-polarized ultra-thin glass component for HUD applications.
With the Panoramic Solar Roof, AGC is showcasing a vehicle-integrated glass roof with embedded solar cells (VIPV) designed to enable plug-free charging both while driving and parked in sunlight.
AGC’s startup Wideye will also showcase three LiDAR integration solutions: a glass trim for roof-mounted LiDAR, a panoramic all-glass roof with LiDAR integration, and a windshield designed for seamless sensor integration.
Hyundai has introduced the Ioniq 6 N – its second fully electric N performance model. This four-door coupe is powered by dual electric motors delivering 478 kW (650 hp) peak output, with continuous power at 448 kW (609 hp). With a maximum torque of 770 Nm and Launch Control, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds – a record pace for an electric sedan. Top speed is estimated at 257 km/h, with a projected range of around 469 km. Its 800V architecture allows for ultra-fast 350 kW charging, reportedly enabling 10–80% top-ups in just 18 minutes.
In China, BYD has announced that its “God’s Eye” ADAS system now supports Level 4 autonomous parking – fully automated parking without driver input in certain scenarios. The system operates across three speed modes and can handle complex environments, from narrow garages to high-turnover public lots. BYD assumes full liability for any parking-related damage, including third-party vehicle or property incidents, allowing customers to contact BYD’s customer service directly rather than relying on insurance claims.
With the EXP 15 concept, Bentley offers a bold vision of an electric luxury GT – a blend of saloon, SUV, and grand tourer inspired by the legendary Speed Six from 1930. The four-door coupe features a unique three-seat layout with asymmetrical doors and a rotating center seat. Highlights include a pop-out champagne cooler, a theatrical “art of arriving” door experience, and air-conditioned picnic seats. Design-wise, it follows five key principles: upright elegance, muscular shoulders, digital light artistry in the grille, and a redesigned falcon-inspired Winged B logo. The cabin merges sustainable materials like wool and 3D-printed titanium with advanced digital interfaces. Technical specs like battery size and power output remain undisclosed.
Xiaomi has filed a patent for a next-gen layered electrode design for solid-state batteries. According to the company, the structure improves ion conductivity and energy density by vertically aligning the electrolyte through the electrode – enabling shorter transport paths and increasing cell volume utilization (up to 77.8%). The technology is said to be compatible with current lithium-ion production lines and may allow for over 1,200 km of range (CLTC), with 800 km recharged in just 10 minutes.
ZF has introduced TempAI, an AI-based temperature monitoring system for electric motors that targets thermal uncertainties. The system promises more than 15% improved accuracy in temperature prediction, allowing for optimized use of the motor up to its thermal limit. The result: up to 6% higher peak power, improved WLTP-cycle efficiency, and up to 18% less energy consumption in dynamic driving scenarios. As a fully software-based solution using existing ECUs and requiring no additional sensors, TempAI offers a fast and cost-effective path to mass production. ZF plans to implement the system in its new SELECT platform motors later in 2025.
