International automotive supplier FORVIA HELLA has launched an aerodynamic rear wing lighting for the full electric SUV LYNK & CO Z20 (LYNK & CO 02 in Europe) for the Chinese new energy vehicle brand LYNK & CO. This rear lamp incorporates an ultra-long overhang wing design, not only creating a highly three-dimensional and differentiated aesthetic appearance but also significantly enhancing the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle. The rear wing lighting, the first solution of its kind of FORVIA HELLA, has entered series production in September this year. It is both developed and produced locally in China.

"This innovative rear lamp marks another milestone in automotive lighting innovation for us, fully demonstrating our innovation and research and development capabilities, as well as proving our excellent manufacturing capabilities,” says Didier Keskas, Head of Business Group Lighting APAC at FORVIA HELLA. "This aerodynamic rear wing lighting does not only fulfill innovative functions but also has to withstand the pressure and drag force generated by airflow during high-speed driving, posing even higher requirements to its robustness, durability, and reliability. We are consistently committed to providing high-quality products and services to the automotive market and our customers. This innovative rear lamp further demonstrates our commitment to the Chinese market, representing technological innovation and our relentless pursuit to meet the unique needs of the Chinese market and enhance customer experience.”

The innovative rear wing lighting from FORVIA HELLA adopts a highly integrated design concept in terms of functionality. It offers optimal aerodynamic performance for the entire vehicle through its ultra-long overhang design, combining rear lamps and vehicle wingsr into one, in addition to regulatory rear lamp functions such as direction indicators, stop indicators, reversing lights, fog lamps, taillights, and side markers. The cover of the rear lamp protrudes outward by 130 mm, creating a more ideal angle for the rear of the car compared to metal materials, thereby optimizing aerodynamic performance, effectively reducing wind resistance, and further improving vehicle stability and energy efficiency.

In terms of design, the rear wing lighting features a continuous design that come across the entire rear of the vehicle, forming a coherent and smooth light strip that seamlessly blends with the vehicle body. Especially during welcome and leaving home scenarios, its dynamic lighting animation greatly enhances the visual appeal of the entire vehicle. This rear lamp design continues the family design language of LYNK & CO, while giving the appearance a stronger 3D outlook, making the rear styling of the car more recognizable.
