In 1998, the odelo Group developed and began production of the world’s first full-LED rear light for automobiles. Although noteworthy, this achievement is but one of many for the company, which has manufactured rear and tail lights for all German premium-vehicle OEMs since 1935.
More recently, odelo developed a new rear light for the Mercedes-Benz T-model (an E-Class size vehicle), and received a 2016 GKV/TechPart Innovation Award for this work. The light features mirrored surfaces and functions that are hybrid laser welded to the edge of the light housing.
