Espelkamp/Geneva, March 8, 2017 – After the “Etos” concept vehicle unveiled last year, Swiss automobile manufacturer Rinspeed will be presenting the “Oasis” at the Geneva Motor Show (March 9-19, 2017). Once again, Rinspeed uses innovative technology from HARTING – the miniMICA. The miniMICA is a further development of the evolutionary HARTING MICA system (which stands for Modular Industry Computing Architecture).

The miniMICA has a scalable and flexible architecture which allows the computing modules to be connected to one another in different ways. With the “Oasis”, the driver can customise the plug-in modules and system configuration to the task in hand. “This allows resource-efficient use of the vehicle,” says Dr Lutz Tröger, Head of Corporate Technology Development at HARTING.

Performance and features on demand – see them in the “Oasis” on the Rinspeed stand in Geneva. The miniMICA will also be a highlight of the HARTING Technology Group at the HANNOVER MESSE fair (24–28 April 2017 / Hall 11 / Stand C15).

Rinspeed and HARTING worked together successfully last year too: The MICA, which won HARTING the prestigious Hermes Award in April 2016, was installed in the “Etos” vehicle for independent emissions and status monitoring.
