Acconeer's A1 pulsed coherent radar sensor is used in a car model from a Japanese high-volume car maker for the use case access control, which allows touchless opening of the trunk of a car. Acconeer estimates the total value of this model to USD 1,4 million over seven years. The car model is released on the US market by a Japanese company among the global top ten car manufacturers.

Sales to this customer are reflected in sales to Acconeer's distributors. The automotive industry is an important business segment for Acconeer. Acconeer's radar is the pioneer to replace existing capacitive solutions for access control and the company expects radars to completely replace existing solutions.

Based on this, Acconeer expects their sales to the automotive industry to grow significantly over the coming years.
