Daegu City Launches Technology Development for Future Vehicle Tuning Parts

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Ju Cheol-in] Daegu City announced on the 22nd that two local companies were selected in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's 'Future-type Automobile Tuning Parts Technology Development Project' contest.

This project aims to develop next-generation technologies such as eco-friendly power systems, advanced safety systems, and convenience systems to shift the tuning parts industry from internal combustion engine-centered to future car-centered.

As lead organizations, Sambo Motors and Lee Intelligence will receive about 2 billion KRW each annually for three years starting this year to carry out the project.

The Korea Automotive Technology Institute will support testing and evaluation necessary for technology development.

Sambo Motors will develop an In-wheel system that installs a driving motor inside the wheel to drive the wheel independently.

The goal is to enhance performance by increasing output and driving range by installing the In-wheel on the rear wheels of front-wheel-drive electric vehicles.

Lee Intelligence will develop an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) for the aftermarket to improve driving convenience.

This is to enable the application of such systems to vehicles that are not equipped with support systems like lane departure warning and emergency braking.

A city official said, “We expect that this project will enable local companies to secure technological competitiveness in the future car tuning parts field.”
