SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG), a leader in mobility innovation, will supply its integrated cockpit solution for Renault Group's New Trafic E-Tech Electric, the automaker's first mass-produced commercial vehicle built on a software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture, which won the International Van of the Year award.
Combining the instrument cluster and infotainment system, LG's unified solution plays an integral role in the vehicle, enabling a more seamless and intuitive user experience while supporting a software-centric approach to vehicle development.
An Integrated Cockpit Solution Optimized for SDVs
LG's integrated cockpit solution is optimized for SDVs, which are rapidly becoming the new standard for the mobility sector. While conventional vehicles distribute control functions across dozens of electronic control units (ECUs) dedicated to specific areas or systems, such as the cockpit, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and powertrain, SDVs use high-performance computing and a centralized software architecture to integrate the control of multiple vehicle functions.
Another key advantage of SDVs is the ability to continuously add new features and upgrade existing ones via over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
Designed specifically for SDV environments, LG's solution integrates the control of the instrument cluster and infotainment system, serving as a key control platform for the cockpit domain. The cluster element provides driving information such as vehicle speed, revolutions per minute (RPM) and warning indicators, while the infotainment system supports features including navigation and media playback. This allows driving and infotainment information to be presented in a more consistent and intuitive way across the vehicle's displays. In addition to elevating the in-vehicle experience, LG's innovation helps automakers reduce costs through component simplification and system optimization.
Building on Proven Expertise and Strong Partnerships
LG's ability to deliver advanced solutions tailored for SDVs is rooted in its technological expertise accumulated over many years and strong industry partnerships. Drawing on its extensive experience in automotive infotainment development, software expertise and UX/UI capabilities cultivated through its mobile, TV and home appliance businesses, LG has been recognized as a trusted partner in automotive instrument clusters and infotainment systems.
LG and Renault Group have built a long-standing relationship of trust through years of close collaboration. LG was recognized by Renault Group as an outstanding supplier in 2014, 2017 and 2020, and the two companies worked together to develop an Android-based automotive infotainment system in 2021. Building on this proven collaboration, LG developed and delivered an integrated cockpit solution tailored for Renault Group's first production SDV.
Looking ahead, LG plans to further expand its partnerships with major global automakers across North America, Asia and other key markets, strengthening its position as a trusted supplier in the fast-growing SDV automotive electronics market.
"Building on our close collaboration with Renault Group and other global automakers, we will continue to advance the core technologies and solutions needed to support the mobility industry's transition to SDVs," said Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution Company.

LG TO SUPPLY INTEGRATED COCKPIT SOLUTION FOR RENAULT GROUP'S FIRST COMMERCIAL SDV
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The 41st Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI) 2026 has attracted strong interest from international buyers and Indonesian business players. As of 29 September 2026, buyers from 113 countries have registered to attend TEI 2026. Meanwhile, as of 25 September 2026, a total of 1,533 Indonesian business players, including micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), have registered as exhibitors.
TEI 2026 will take place from 14 to 18 October 2026 at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) BSD City, Tangerang Regency, Banten. Director General of National Export Development at the Ministry of Trade, Fajarini Puntodewi, said that the Ministry of Trade is positioning TEI 2026 as a strategic platform to connect Indonesian products and businesses with global markets.
"The number of countries represented by registered buyers, along with the strong participation of local exhibitors, demonstrates the high interest of international and Indonesian business players in meeting through a business-to-business (B2B) platform. We hope TEI 2026 will further open opportunities for Indonesian businesses to enter global markets, explore new markets, and expand their business networks," said Puntodewi following the 41st TEI Technical Meeting Press Conference at ICE BSD City, Tangerang, Banten, on Wednesday (30 September).
Puntodewi noted that the largest number of foreign buyers came from India, followed by China, Nigeria, Malaysia, and Egypt. The strong participation of these buyers is supported by the active role of Indonesian Embassies, Consulates General, and Indonesian trade representatives in expanding networks and identifying potential buyers from various countries.
Meanwhile, local exhibitors are distributed across five product zones. The Food, Beverage, and Agriculture Products Zone features 754 exhibitors; Fashion and Handicraft, 448 exhibitors; and Manufactured Products and Services, 183 exhibitors. The Furniture and Home Decor Zone features 85 exhibitors, while the Industrial Estate Zone features 63 exhibitors.
"The composition of exhibitors reflects the diversity of products and services that Indonesia has to offer international buyers. Through these product zones, we aim to make it easier for international buyers to identify products that meet their needs. This will enable more targeted business discussions between buyers and Indonesian exhibitors," said Puntodewi.
Under the theme "The Ultimate Hub for Global Sourcing," TEI 2026 will occupy an exhibition area of 16,656 square meters. TEI 2026 is targeting potential transactions of USD 17.5 billion, with approximately 1,500 exhibitors and 30,000 visitors. The event is also designed to create opportunities for investment and business partnerships.
Puntodewi explained that, to support the achievement of these targets, the Ministry of Trade has conducted a series of pre-event activities since March 2026. These activities include exhibitor recruitment and curation, buyer sourcing, the distribution of exhibitor profiles to Indonesian trade representatives overseas, business matching, and a CEO Gathering.
"As of 21 September 2026, 17 business pitching sessions and business matching preparations have been conducted, involving 17 Indonesian missions and trade representatives overseas. These activities consisted of 12 sessions in August 2026 and five sessions in September 2026," said Puntodewi.
During the event, TEI 2026 will feature an exhibition of Indonesian export products, business counseling, business matching, business forums, the signing of memorandum of understanding (MoUs), trade agreements, investment commitments, and the Media Award.
TEI 2026 will also serve as an opportunity to strengthen economic relations with partner countries. The Ministry of Trade will facilitate visits by ministers from partner countries. In addition, invitation requests have been received from Zimbabwe, Russia, Uzbekistan, the United Kingdom, and Serbia.
TEI is not financed through the State Budget (APBN). Instead, its revenue comes from participation fees and sponsorships managed by the Professional Event Organizer (PEO). The PEO is also responsible for participant curation to ensure that participating business players have the readiness and capacity to enter international markets, including in terms of production, management, and export capabilities.
Also attending the press conference was Zelda Wulan Kartika, Senior Advisor for Economic Diplomacy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She highlighted the role of Indonesian representatives overseas, including Indonesian Embassies, Consulates General, Trade Attachés, and Indonesia Trade Promotion Centers (ITPCs), in expanding trade networks while identifying and curating potential buyers. Buyers are then matched with Indonesian businesses based on their needs and potential areas for cooperation through various activities, including business matching, business forums, and site visits.
"We continue to bridge Indonesian businesses with international markets through the network of Indonesian representatives overseas. Our efforts range from providing information on market opportunities and promoting Indonesian products to connecting businesses with
suitable buyers. This synergy is part of our efforts to expand market access and encourage more Indonesian products to enter global markets," said Zelda.
President Director of PT Debindomulti Adhiswasti, Vibiadhi Swasti Pradana, also attended the press conference. For TEI 2026, PT Debindomulti Adhiswasti serves as the Professional Event Organizer (PEO). Vibiadhi added that TEI 2026 is supported through collaboration with more than 154 local and international media outlets. Collaborative promotional efforts have also been carried out with international trade events in Russia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Australia.
In addition, the PEO has prepared facilities to support the participation of potential buyers and facilitate transaction opportunities at TEI 2026. More than 200 rooms have been prepared for buyers who have undergone the business-matching process and demonstrated transaction or partnership potential with Indonesian businesses.
"These facilities are part of the organizer's efforts to support the business process, from connecting buyers with Indonesian businesses to facilitating potential transactions during TEI 2026," added Vibiadhi.
TEI 2026 is supported by Pertamina as a strategic partner, Bank Mandiri as the banking partner, and the Badan Pengelola Dana Perkebunan (BPDP). TEI 2026 also receives support from several institutions and organizations, including the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN Indonesia) and the Indonesia Eximbank (LPEI).
