【2024 IFAL访谈录】Dr. Wolfgang HUHN —— 国际汽车照明与光信号专家联盟GTB主席

Thank you very much for your wonderful presentation, Dr. Wolfgang HUHN. During your career spanning both Europe and China, what unique business challenges have you encountered? And how do these challenges differ or resemble across markets?

非常感谢您精彩的演讲，Wolfgang HUHN博士。在您的横跨欧洲与中国的职业生涯中，您遇到过哪些独特的商业挑战？这些挑战在不同市场中又有何异同？

Thank you for your question. With over four decades in the lighting industry, from my teaching days at the Darmstadt University of Technology to my current role here at IFAL, I've observed that a critical challenge for young professionals is to become experts in their field and communicate their ideas clearly and effectively. It may sound easy, but it's often quite challenging. In Europe, we focus on technological innovation and stringent regulations, while in China, the rapid changes in market demands and technological advancements pose unique adaptability and innovation challenges.

谢谢你的提问。我在照明行业工作已超过四十年，从我在达姆施塔特工业大学的教学时期到我现在于IFAL的职位，我观察到年轻专业人员面临的一个关键挑战是成为他们领域的专家，并能够清晰有效地传达他们的想法。这听起来可能很简单，但实际上往往颇具挑战性。在欧洲，我们注重技术创新和严格的法规，而在中国，市场需求的快速变化和技术进步则带来了独特的适应性和创新挑战。

Thank you for sharing your insights, Dr. HUHN. As the chairman of the working group on the strategy for the development of ECE regulations for lighting and signaling, how do you perceive the current trends in ECE regulations? And how do these trends influence the design and development of automotive lighting and signaling systems?

感谢您分享您的见解，HUHN博士。作为照明和信号设备ECE法规发展战略工作组的主席，您如何看待当前ECE法规的趋势？这些趋势又如何影响汽车照明和信号系统的设计与发展？

The evolution of ECE regulations was indeed a part of my presentation. We are actively seeking improvements to reduce redundancy and complexity in lighting technologies while enhancing safety and efficiency. Currently, ECE regulations are trending towards greater intelligence and environmental friendliness, placing higher demands on the design of automotive lighting and signaling systems. We must innovate while adhering to regulatory requirements to meet consumers' growing demands for safety and comfort.

ECE法规的演变确实是我演讲的一部分。我们正在积极寻求改进，以减少照明技术的冗余和复杂性，同时提高安全性和效率。目前，ECE法规正朝着更高的智能化和环保性发展，对汽车照明和信号系统的设计提出了更高要求。我们必须在遵守法规要求的同时进行创新，以满足消费者对安全性和舒适性的日益增长的需求。

Dr. HUHN, as you're attending IFAL this year, what aspect of the event has caught your attention the most?

HUHN博士，您今年参加IFAL，哪个方面的活动最吸引您的注意？

Regarding the presentations and discussions I've attended so far, I'm particularly interested in ADB (Adaptive Driving Beam) technology, camera technology, and the integration of AI in vehicles. These technologies represent the future direction of automotive lighting and signaling systems and will profoundly transform our travel experiences.

就我目前参加的演讲和讨论而言，我特别感兴趣的是自适应远光灯（ADB）技术、摄像头技术以及车辆中人工智能的集成。这些技术代表了汽车照明和信号系统的未来方向，并将深刻改变我们的出行体验。

Thank you for your professional and enthusiastic responses, Dr. HUHN. This year marks the 12th anniversary of IFAL. Do you have any suggestions or messages for IFAL?

感谢您专业且热情的回答，HUHN博士。今年是IFAL成立12周年，您对IFAL有何建议或寄语？

Absolutely, it's my honor to offer my blessings on this significant occasion. IFAL, as a prestigious event in the lighting and signaling industry, has always led the way in industry development. I hope IFAL continues to uphold its spirit of openness and innovation, providing a platform for professionals to exchange ideas and collaborate. Furthermore, I encourage IFAL to keep abreast of emerging technologies and contribute more to advancing automotive lighting and signaling systems.

当然，在这个重要的时刻，我很荣幸能送上我的祝福。IFAL作为照明和信号行业中的知名活动，一直引领着行业的发展。我希望IFAL能够继续秉持开放和创新的精神，为专业人士提供一个交流思想和合作的平台。此外，我鼓励IFAL紧跟新兴技术，为推进汽车照明和信号系统做出更多贡献。

Thank you for your support. Look forward to seeing you again next year!

感谢您的支持。期待明年再次见到您！

Wolfgang HUHN博士
