Automotive Cockpits and Instrumentation Market and Trend Analysis by Technology, Key Companies and Forecast, 2021-2036

Summary
The fascia (or dashboard) and the instrument cluster together form the instrument panel.The instrument panel is a complex system of coverings, foams, plastics and metals designed to house various components and act as a safety device for the vehicle occupants.

Instrument panels are usually made of injection moulded thermoplastics.The area directly in front of the driver and front-seat passenger is commonly referred to as the cockpit.

It is an area that continues to expand.

A cockpit is a combination made out of an instrument panel and a number of sub-modules such as wiring and electronic devices, instruments, car audio and information/communication, heating and climate systems.

The number of instruments has increased over the years as vehicles have become more complex and the instruments themselves have become cheaper.Few cars in the 1960s had a tachometer but it is now almost a universal fitting.

Similarly, legislation has now made the use of tachographs obligatory in trucks.The big increase, however, has been in event-controlled indications, such as lights which actuate to show warnings for indicators, low oil pressure and high lighting beam.

A typical car now would have two large instruments showing speed and engine revolutions plus two smaller instruments showing engine temperature and fuel gauge. All other instruments are either incorporated in the larger instruments (odometer and trip meter) or separated from the main cluster and displayed as event warnings.

Although there can be no doubt that drivers of the future will be better informed with a raft of new instrumentation, there is some concern as to whether their instrument panels will be a safe place to deliver the information.
