France Automotive Wiring Harness Market Trends and Drivers:
However, by far the most common driver for the French automotive wiring harness sector is the high level of government subsidies and the strict emissions regulations across the EU - which are in turn important to the country's mobility transition towards vehicle electrification requiring fundamental redesign in the form of a new type of wiring networks (not just extra EV production amounts). Electric vehicles need high voltage wiring harnesses for safe handling of the huge power transfer from the battery to the electric motor. Luxury cars in the 2020s operate at voltages of more than 800 volts. Other low-voltage wiring harnesses for internal combustion engines under 200 volts do not. Therefore, the HV wiring harnesses require better heat resistance in addition to radio-frequency shielding to protect the delicate electronics in an automobile. French harness manufacturers are investing their money in research and development in order to gain know-how in silicone-based insulations, high-temperature plastics and shielding techniques. This is also partly because it is now much more expensive to build each harness, as these parts are more expensive to produce, and partly because of the stringent and expensive validation process required to meet strict worldwide safety regulations.
One of the most important, but intractable, market forces is vehicle lightweighting to improve fuel economy and, particularly, the range of battery electric vehicles. The wiring harness weighs the most and, customarily, it complicates one of the vehicle's electrical subsystems. This is now a major area of innovation, with French vehicle manufacturers and harness suppliers rethinking materials and design principles to achieve mass reductions while maintaining reliable performance and safety. One key development has been the use of lightweight aluminum alloys to replace copper wires in non-safety critical areas, albeit at the cost of different resistivity, crimping, and other connector technologies. Additional practices have included lightweight composites for harness clamps and conduits, as well as thinner-walled, high-strength insulation in the wiring to reduce its weight. Likewise, E/E architectures have started to transition from a model of many distributed control units (DCUs) with many interfaces to a model with a few powerful centralized computers. The combination of simplifying the E/E architecture and advancements in materials science is one growth vector that allows manufacturers to meet weight and packaging constraints despite increasing complexities and electrical load in modern vehicles.
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and other in-cabin connectivity features have proliferated and are driving explosive demand for in-car high-speed data transfer. Vehicles still in development such as those of France's main car manufacturers are becoming data centres generating gigabytes of data per second via a network of sensors, cameras, LiDAR, radar and infotainment systems. In order to carry these bandwidths, the customary low-speed CAN and LIN bus systems will need to be replaced with Automotive Ethernet. This affects harness design, as shielded twisted-pair cables and connectors will be needed to avoid interference to ensure good signal integrity and the lowest possible latency. These features are absolutely critical for real-time safety applications such as autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and the harness is no longer just a power distribution network. It now also serves as the vehicle's central nervous system since it eases high-speed communication between the sensory organs back to the central processing brain. As a result, French suppliers have had to for the purpose of developing some new expertise within data cabling plus EMI/RFI mitigation and the collaboration with those semiconductor companies in order to co-develop next-generation connectivity solutions. This trend dramatically increases the complexity, costs and precision required of the wiring harnesses in these systems.
