Visteon’s products launched on 34 vehicle models in the first quarter of the year which will directly contribute to the company’s near-term sales growth. Key new launches include a 12.3-inch digital cluster on General Motors’ Silverado and Sierra Heavy Duty trucks, a SmartCore program on Geely’s Zeekr X crossover CUV, and a digital cluster and audio system on the Ford Ranger for South America.
