The new Huf Concept Key is an impressive example of modern car keys that enable entirely new forms of passive entry thanks to new sensor technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Ultra-Wideband (UWB). Huf is following the same path as car manufacturers in developing new generations of vehicles: Before they start work on implementing a new series model, they use design studies to gather customer feedback. Some concept cars even end up being built for real. It is not unusual for these one-off designs to become the stars of the show at major automotive exhibitions and to captivate visitors to these events as well as car fans all over the world. Rightly so, too, as concept cars demonstrate what is possible in automotive manufacturing and what the cars of the future could look like.
Car key of the future also benefits from many years of Huf expertise
“With the Huf Concept Key, we are presenting the future of the car key,” says Claus Vollmer, Head of the Business Unit Locking & Authorization. “As one of the world’s leading automotive suppliers for car access and authorization, we have taken our expertise in manufacturing and engineering and applied it to the development of this key. With this design study, we are answering the questions most frequently asked by our customers and, at the same time, giving some idea of how car owners’ desires for a more advanced kind of car authorization can be fulfilled. The Huf Concept Key reflects our expertise as a long-standing car key specialist,” continues Vollmer.
