To ensure road safety, all new types of electric and hybrid vehicles in the EU must have an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) that emits a sound to alert other road users.
Yet, many manufacturers do not have or wish to spend precious resources designing and integrating their own sounds system.
Kendrion’s one-box AVAS solution can be easily programmed and built into vehicle designs. “Phantone” includes everything from interface to sound output: Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)-certified electronic control unit (ECU), actuator for internal sound, loudspeaker, direct CAN bus connection, and sound design software that enables the manufacturer to choose a unique sound.
