Pioneer Doubles Down on Innovation: New R&D Centre in Bengaluru to Drive Future of Automotive Tech

Bengaluru, India – Pioneer India, a key arm of global automotive electronics and mobility solutions giant Pioneer Corporation, has officially opened its state-of-the-art Research & Development (R&D) Centre in Bengaluru. This significant investment underscores Pioneer’s commitment to the rapidly growing Indian market and its ambition to be at the forefront of automotive technology innovation.
The newly inaugurated centre isn’t just a facility; it’s a hub for advanced automotive and mobility technology development. Pioneer isn't just responding to current market trends; they are actively shaping the future of driving. The centre will focus on a wide range of cutting-edge technologies, including:
- Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS): Developing and refining technologies to enhance safety and driver convenience. Think smarter parking assist, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control – all tailored for Indian road conditions.
