LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2012 ─ Visteon Corporation (NYSE: VC), a leading global automotive supplier, is
planning to launch its first in-vehicle wireless charging system in 2013 with a major vehicle
manufacturer. Visteon will be among the first automotive suppliers to bring wireless charging into a
high-volume production vehicle platform.Visteon will display its wireless charging capabilities at the International CES in Las Vegas Jan. 10-13 in booth CP20.
The technology provides a convenient way to ensure portable electronics equipped with compatible inductive charging receivers are always charged and ready to go. It eliminates the need for dedicated power cords for each portable device in the vehicle. The user simply places the device on Visteon’s charger, and power is transferred wirelessly to the portable device, at a rate comparable to a plug-in power cord. The wireless charger contains intelligence that can determine if an object is in close proximity to the charger, and whether the object can be charged.
