With the world increasingly challenged by congested roads and polluted air, Israel’s ground-breaking automotive technologies are in the forefront of improving performance, efficiency, safety and air quality. While Israel does not engage in large scale vehicle manufacturing, about 150 Israeli manufacturers supply systems, parts, modules and tooling to original equipment manufacturers and the aftermarket. Israeli companies have successfully adapted military solutions for civilian use and made Israel a notable technology destination for the international automotive industry.
Israel exports about $800 million of automotive parts and systems annually, many of which are purchased by leading OEM manufacturers, including Daimler, BMW, VW, MAN, Renault-Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citroen, GM, Ford/Mazda, Navistar, Volvo Trucks and Jaguar. Such Tier 1 suppliers as Delphi, Bosch, Valeo, Autoliv, Faurecia, Johnson Controls, ZF, Getrag and Magna Steyr also source components from Israel. MAN, Ford/Mazda, Navistar and Hyundai maintain local purchasing offices, while Volvo Bus jointly owns bus manufacturer Merkavim Transportation Technologies with an Israeli company. Tomcar, a local company, manufactures rugged yet agile, military-proven off-road vehicles that have won wide acceptance.
Israel’s skilled workforce, strict compliance with international quality standards, computerized logistics and advanced R&D capabilities position the country as a prime destination for outsourcing and development of new products. In recent years Israel has developed a number of breakthrough technologies, including specialized materials, advanced electronics, communication systems, driver awareness systems, automotive IT and security. As electronics become an increasingly significant aspect of every vehicle, having recently risen from 15 percent to 35 percent of total car cost, Israel is well placed to become a leader in this market segment.

Both methods had problems. For instance, how can one effectively read a map while driving? Map-reading is only best if there is another passenger in the car, wh
ich isn't always possible. Asking for directions can also be annoying, at least if the person giving the directions does so in a manner that is not as clear.
Fortunately, with the emergence of automotive GPS units the process of map-reading and getting directions has never been easier as each can be done either through voice activation, touching the screen, pushing buttons or a combination. Maps pinpointing the exact location pop right up on the screen, while directions can be given through a computer-generated voice. Nothing could be easier or better. The only issue is deciding which automotive GPS unit should be purchased. This article will serve as a guide telling consumers what they should be on the lookout for when choosing automotive GPS units.
