Interlock cables are gaining traction with the production of EVs

A key interlock cable is a safety component that prevents the driver from removing the ignition key until the gear lever is in the 'Park' position. The interlock cables were originally mechanical devices, but these cables can now interface with electronic systems, including shift-by-wire and brake-by-wire systems. These are extremely important as our vehicle technologies advance towards all-electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, or semi-autonomous vehicles, which are changing controls of simple functional elements of the vehicle (e.g., a push button to shift gears or control which set of wheels are powered.

A primary factor in that change is the development of the electric vehicle (EV) sector. Electric vehicles employ, among other pieces of equipment, electronic transmission and drive systems, and so a significant requirement when it comes to safety is to prevent unwanted movement. Thus, manufacturers are developing interlock cables that are compatible with electronic control units (ECUs), sensors, and smart locks, among others. Ficosa and HI-Lex are examples of multiple solutions, as Ficosa also provides interlocks that match modern vehicle architectures, with the advantages of more safety, less weight, and flexibility for multiple installations.

In addition to EV integration, improvements in materials and design are increasing the performance and durability of interlock cables. For example, there are a growing number of high-strength, low weight materials like thermoplastics, as well as alloys that are resistant to corrosion like aluminium or nickel that prolong the life of the product and maximize performance in extreme operating conditions, which are allowing interlock cables to become more compatible with compressed, high efficiency design factors found in vehicles today.

Moreover, the emergence of automated driving features has amplified the need for strong safety features. Semi-autonomous and fully autonomous vehicles will need mechanical fail-safes to prevent failures of the system and human error. Interlock cables are key interlocks for these safety features and provide an important backup and safe operational environment for manual overrides or during emergencies.

Technological advancements have also allowed manufacturers to design modular and customizable interlock cable systems to accommodate the needs of vehicle platforms. OEMs want flexible solutions that integrate easily into the vehicle assembly process and meet all regional safety regulations. These customized solutions should be particularly attractive to the aftermarket industry, where vehicles will generally require component upgrades or replacements.

Altogether, these technological advancements have greatly increased the potential market for automotive key, interlock cable systems. Market growth continues to be promising and is forecasted to increase consistently, globally, due to the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) alongside stricter safety regulations and a consumer demand for more reliable vehicle safety systems.
