Enabling the future of mobility and vehicle technology
Vehicles across every industry around the globe are undergoing rapid technological advancements. From autonomous agriculture equipment and self-driving taxis to long-range electric cars and fully connected commercial truck fleets, the future of mobility is becoming smarter, safer, and more sustainable. At the foundation of this technology transformation are highly complex electronics designed and manufactured to meet regulatory, quality, and operating requirements of the environments that they operate in.
Leading vehicle manufacturers and technology suppliers trust ww5 to support the development and production of their next-generation technology. Whether delivering full system assemblies or specialized sub-systems, our expertise in design, engineering, test, manufacture, and supply chain enables our customers to launch future generations of vehicles.
Markets We Serve
Automotive
Vehicle technology is advancing faster than ever before. Innovative, highly complex electronics are enabling major technology developments such as advanced driver assistance systems; connectivity and in-car infotainment; powertrain electrification; and the centralization of vehicle compute systems. As automakers and technology suppliers bring innovative new vehicle technologies to market, they need a partner with deep expertise in automotive-grade manufacturing, supply chain management, and regulatory compliance.
Commercial Truck & Bus
Commercial vehicle fleets are experiencing the same vehicle technology developments as passenger cars. Semis, trucks, and vans are becoming more connected, autonomous, and energy-efficient all while lowering total cost of ownership (TCO) and complying with evolving regulations. ww5’s expertise in next-generation vehicle technologies and high-mix, low-volume manufacturing provides the flexibility commercial vehicle manufacturers and technology suppliers need to scale efficiently.
Construction, Mining & Agriculture
In the world of construction, mining, and agriculture, ruggedized vehicle technology is essential. Designing and manufacturing durable electronics for these environments requires specialized engineering and advanced manufacturing capabilities. We build the optics, sensors, connectivity technology, and high-power compute systems for the complex electronics that are transforming off-highway and heavy-duty vehicles — enabling them to improve productivity and operating costs.
Rail
Rail is moving beyond traditional systems toward fully connected, coordinated, and intelligent networks. That shift places electronics at the center of safe, reliable performance over long service lifecycles.
As rail OEMs modernize networks to improve system performance, they need a partner with deep expertise in rail electronics and ISO/TS 22163-certified, high-mix manufacturing for safety-critical programs. ww5 is that partner, moving advanced rail systems into production with confidence.
