SEOUL, November 13 (AJP) - South Korea's electronics giant LG Group said Thursday that it discussed expanding its “One LG” partnership with Mercedes-Benz, aligning its affiliates’ combined auto-parts capabilities for next-generation electric and software-defined vehicles.
The meeting at LG Twin Towers in Yeouido, Seoul, coincided with the visit of Ola Källenius, chairman and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Group. Executives from LG Electronics, LG Display, LG Energy Solution and LG Innotek attended to review collaboration in EV components, batteries, vehicle displays, and autonomous-driving sensors.
Under the “One LG” initiative, the four affiliates aim to provide integrated parts solutions combining infotainment systems, curved OLED displays, battery cells, and sensing modules. LG Electronics and Mercedes-Benz have already co-developed the panoramic OLED infotainment display used in the EQS model.
LG Display has supplied plastic-based P-OLED panels for Mercedes-Benz’s MBUX Hyperscreen, while LG Energy Solution remains a key battery partner. LG Innotek is exploring cooperation in LiDAR and radar modules.
Källenius said Mercedes-Benz and LG “share a vision of innovation, quality and sustainability, combining our strengths to set new standards for the global auto industry.” LG Electronics CEO Cho Joo-wan said the company would “further strengthen its strategic partnership with Mercedes-Benz based on its SDV solutions and proven technology.”
