The automotive sector is experiencing unprecedented demand for electronic solutions in passenger vehicles. In addition to being one of the most exciting growth sectors, the industry presents unique challenges for engineers, purchasers, component manufacturers and distributors. This edition of Focus magazine addresses these challenges from each perspective.
Martin Keenan examines the innovations in automotive connectivity in the first of our feature articles. A discussion on current and future trends in on-board, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure connectivity, this article highlights the innovations from manufacturers enabling this shift towards increased connectivity.

In our second feature article, Alan Jermyn reviews and discusses the applications triggering increased demand for passive components. This covers not only the design trends driving innovation from manufacturers but also the standards and specifications pushing the decision-making process in the selection of passive devices for automotive engineers.
Lastly, the development of fast, safe and efficient charging stations is part of the evolutionary growth of the automotive industry. Design considerations, the role of technologies and the charging environment are some of the factors in the future of EV charging infrastructure considered by Alessandro Mastellari.
It is an exhilarating time for the automotive sector and we are thrilled to be part of this revolution.
