In a world strongly driven by mobility, AGC can assist in improving OEM's environmental footprint.

This can be achieved with our thin glazing products, reducing vehicle weight with direct impact on CO2 emissions. In addition, when glass becomes the electronics interface for HUD, touch screen or rearview mirrors, our selective glazing may enable removing some car components (roofs or window shading), reducing air-conditioning demand, eliminating other display devices, all reducing overall vehicle weight.

We also supply various coating solutions which improve energy efficiency inside the cabin: by reflecting Infrared rays in warm summer, or protecting cabin temperature in cold winter conditions. These coated glass solutions enable fuel saving and lower CO2 emissions through lower HVAC demnads.

All these initiatives are of major importance for the planet.

Developing the safest and most reliable products is our first purpose at AGC Automotive. We go above and beyond to produce quality glass ensuring the car driver has an optimal view.

Solutions are available to enhance visibility in all weather conditions by repelling water or technologies to remove fog or frost from the windows.

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are designed to enhance vehicle safety; head-up displays help the driver stay focused on the road.

AGC Automotive protects vehicle occupants and posessions through laminated glazing applied to all windows or filters integrated in the glass to block ultraviolet (UV) rays, harmful for the skin.

Comfort & convenience

Drivers and passengers spend a lot of time in their vehicle or on public transportation, so they are increasingly considered as an extension of the home, making the wellbeing of occupants highly important.

AGC Automotive develops glazing technologies that greatly reduce noise and increase thermal comfort all year round for a more pleasant journey.

Small or panoramic, with or without electronic control of the amount of light, with an AGC Automotive sunroof, the sky is the limit.

Convenient solutions are also available to save time and effort such as the AGC Automotive windshields that defrost electrically in winter, making manual scraping and de-iceing in the cold a thing of the past.

Glazing contributes considerably to the look and the aesthetics of the vehicle such as dark tinted glass or chrome framed windows.

Cars are not just a means of transport, but also a means to express one’s own personality, own identity and to stand out from the crowd.

AGC Automotive wants to move ahead by allowing more customization possibilities of the automobile: create unique shapes of glazing surfaces, add colored patterns to the windows, or provide a high-gloss finish with glazing appliques.

People want to be seamlessly connected, from home to office.

Vehicles are becoming more and more connected, vehicle-to-infrastructure or vehicle-to-vehicle, for providing multiple services (e.g. entertainment, traffic information in real time) or for enhancing their safety (e.g. head-up display, ADAS).

Connectivity requires increasingly powerful antennas.

By designing and incorporating high performance anntennas into vehicle glazing, AGC Automotive is ensuring advanced technology does not spoil the lines of the vehicle.
