Our design team was tasked with delivering a final rear lamp design ready for serial production. The most complex part of this project was the design of the light blades, which formed the lamp’s optical system. The challenge lay in the parts’ intricate geometry, limited space for mechanical features, and multifunctional use as optical components and structural support for the lighting subassembly. Additionally, the part’s non-uniform thickness and need for 2k production added to the complexity.
Endego designed transparent optical parts, integrating complex geometry features like collimators, TIR surfaces, flanges, and mechanical features such as locators and screw bosses. The parts were produced as 2k components with a sealing surface located on the optical surface. Throughout the process, we closely collaborated with the component supplier, ensuring successful tool production and a seamless transition to serial manufacturing.
By combining innovative mechanical and optical design with strong collaboration, Endego delivered a ready-for-production rear lamp that met all functional and manufacturing requirements. This project demonstrates our ability to tackle complex design challenges and bring high-performance automotive lighting systems to market.

Cybersecurity in rolling stock has moved beyond a late-stage IT check and become a vehicle-engineering discipline. Network architecture, supplier responsibilities, software updates, secrets management and vulnerability handling all have to remain workable throughout a fleet’s service life.
Read moreRolling stock OEMs can reduce prototype risk by defining the validation scope early, connecting design with FEM analysis, checking critical joints and interfaces, and preparing traceable evidence before manufacturing begins. Simulation does not remove the need for physical testing. It helps make the prototype a confirmation of a mature design rather than the first place where major structural weaknesses are discovered.
Read moreAn electric motor is only one component of a vehicle’s e-drive system. Efficiency, range, performance and durability depend on the combined operation of the motor, inverter, battery, battery management system (BMS), cooling system, transmission, control software and mechanical integration. Electric powertrain development should therefore address the complete system and the vehicle’s real operating profile from the outset.
