FORVIA HELLA Develops Intelligent Headlamp for NIO’s New Brand ONVO L90

International automotive supplier FORVIA HELLA has, in close collaboration with ONVO, a sub-brand of China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturer NIO, launched a digitalized, intelligent headlamp for its brand-new SUV model L90. The headlamp achieves significant improvement in performance, design, and personalized functionality, while offering significant advantages in light weight and cost efficiency. It delivers highly customized, upgradable interactive experiences for end-users, reshaping the value of vehicle lighting in intelligent mobility scenarios. Designed, developed, and manufactured by FORVIA HELLA’s China local team. The pre-sale for the car model began on July 10, and it will be officially launched at the end of July.

The headlamp system features over 100 independently controllable LEDs, supporting sophisticated dynamic lighting animations and user-defined patterns. Combined with OTA upgradability, it enables possibilities to significantly expand lighting scenarios, such as providing visual support for communications with other road users. Its adaptive high-beam module can dynamically adjust light distribution according to the road conditions, significantly enhancing driving safety at night.

Addressing the L90’s aerodynamic design challenges, FORVIA HELLA’s patented technical solution eliminates crosstalk between pixel modules in compact spaces. Its slim high and low-beam module achieves ultra-wide light distribution and homogenous illumination even at extreme mounting angles. Through matrix architecture and proprietary optical concepts, the system preserves the customer’s creative design while setting industry standards in lighting distribution width for high/low-beam and illumination homogeneousness. In addition, FORVIA HELLA’s modular design and process optimization enables optimized cost efficiency and smaller installation space and less energy consumption, offering a lightweight solution that balances performance and cost.
