LIGHTNING FX | Hagardzon

We have changed our name. After 16 years with race display by Hagardzon AB we are now Hagardzon R&D AB.

This means no change in our business since we will continue to work with what we have done before, such as product and software development, project management, business development and motorsport.

We find the name Hagardzon R&D AB more clearly shows our breadth and expertise that we have developed over the years.

BYD = Build Your Dreams. That’s what we are doing every day in our development studio.
We have now released our latest LIGHTNING auxiliary firmware that have full support of the new all electric BYD Tang. With this version you can safely drive your hightech electric SUV at night without dazzling oncoming cars with your favorite auxiliary lights.

In addition to product and software development we also do work on gokarts.
Some of the work is to do maintenance and optimization on electric gokarts like the one Gokartcentralen is running.
All of Gokartcentralen’s gokarts is powered by electricity and we have now contributed so that they can be used in more races.

Have you seen our latest version, v21, of our LIGHTNING F1 auxiliary light control software? The XCU2030 (CANKEY) supports both automatic high beam and DRL or Reverse light output. One device, multiple light signals without any cutting or soldering on original vehicle wirings. Except this the v21 is packed with even more support of vehicles, like the new Volkswagen Caddy, Isuzu D-Max or BMW X3 and more.

P.S did you know that our system autodetects which vehicle it is installed in? No configuration is needed.

We are now launching our Freight Handling System – PayLoad.

It is web based so that you can run your business in the truck, at home or at the office.

In this project we chose to analyze and scan the ways to handle the different transport types, for example trailer and mixed cargo, in a new digital point of view.

PayLoad contains several smart and easy to use solutions to improve this process.

The application handles orders from attaching the trailer, to loading and unloading along the road and also temperature in a refrigerated transport. This is presented in a friendly graphic interface.

PayLoad also compile cost and income to generate reports that can be used as an invoice documentation to your customers.

No binding period or fixed cost per month, end whenever you want.

In this post we go thru some dealer visitor statistics from real dealer.

The image above shows how many visitors that have entered different models for the selected country, in this case Sweden.

We can clearly see that the new XC60 -18 was a winner followed by the XC40 -18.

Both these cars are SUV types and our analyze is that these model are very popular by families with kids. That’s why they are more visited then the sedans and station wagon models.
It will be interesting to see it the all new Volvo V60CC will be a competitor for these models in terms of number of visitors.

If we look at the Volvo V90 -18 in this chart it draws our attention that its visitor rate is pretty low compared to the XC60 -18.
There could be some factors related to this:

• The vehicle is not located in a “hot” spot at the dealership which causes the visitors to miss it
• The vehicle is not equipped with accessories that are attractive for the current country
• The vehicle is mostly purchased to be used in company fleets

The second image shows a chart how visitors are moving around the vehicle.

In this chart we can see that the Volvo XC40 -18 is the model which have the most interest of the trunk. This is probably due that the Volvo XC40 -18 is the smallest SUV in the XC family and visitors like to see if this model has enough trunk capacity as a daily driver car.

One way of convincing the visitors about the trunk space is to have a Volvo XC40 on display that the trunk has been loaded with family items like stroller, shopping bags etc.

The last chart shows for how long the visitors stay in the vehicle.

In this chart we can see that most visitors are not sitting more than one minute in the driver seat in order to feel the car from inside. The vehicle model that have most visitors sitting between one to two minutes is the Volvo V90CC -17.

A short sit duration could mean that the visitor is not relay interested in the specific model, it’s a more peak visit to see what it’s all about.

But the number of minutes a visitor stay in the driver seat must be corelated to number of sales of the specific model in order to tell if a short sit duration is a positive or negative sales aspect.

The StyleLight visitor statistics data is available at our customer portal. This portal gives a statics overview of dealer visitors for different models and counties.
