Solutions for Transportation & Beyond

Drive into the future of vehicle connectivity with Molex.

Zonal Architecture

Zonal Architecture

Automakers are migrating from domain architecture to zonal architecture to support the functionality of tomorrow’s vehicles. Contrasting to a domain architecture, zonal architecture offers a more efficient solution that groups functions into several zones within the vehicle. The advantages offered by this will change automotive design completely.

At the center of this new approach is the reduced complexity required of the cable harnesses within the vehicle – both in terms of the number of wires and the distances they are required to travel. Molex has the technical expertise, automotive experience, and global footprint to develop connector solutions for zonal architecture. Whatever the requirements, Molex will be ready to meet and exceed these demands and help create the car of the future.

Solutions for Transportation & Beyond

From the vehicle to the datacenter and beyond, connectivity is at the heart of it all. Innovations in connectivity bring the driverless vehicle, increasingly miniaturized devices and the electric revolution to life. But with so much change, how can vehicle engineers keep up with emerging trends? Let Molex help you drive the future with the solutions you need for next-gen transportation applications.

The automotive environment remains a harsh place, and designers need to work with solutions providers that can deliver the capabilities they need to build vehicles for the future. Four key innovations are driving the future of vehicle design: zonal architecture, autonomous driving, miniaturization and electrification – all of these trends will change how we use vehicles.

In collaboration with Arrow, discover more on our latest insights and the innovative solutions guaranteed to help you stay ahead of the expectation below.

As digital technology continues to enhance the already sophisticated dynamics behind powertrain electrification, driver interfaces, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), a growing number of electronics are required to compete for space inside vehicle architectures. As today's automotive design engineers work to integrate new vehicle capabilities, miniaturized components can help to maximum performance when space is limited.
