Pioneer India has established its new Research & Development (R&D) Center in Bengaluru.

The centre will serve OEM, aftermarket, and B2B segments—including fleet operators and insurance providers—while also addressing the specific needs of Indian automotive manufacturers through faster development cycles and region-specific solutions.

Shiro Yahara, President and CEO, Pioneer Corporation said,“The launch of our Bengaluru R&D center represents a critical step in our global growth strategy. India’s deep talent pool and dynamic mobility ecosystem make it an ideal base to drive innovation across vision, connectivity, and intelligent systems for vehicles of all kinds.”

The Bengaluru R&D center will be working closely with Pioneer’s global network of R&D and engineering centres, focusing on developing solutions for Automotive Vision & Sensing Technologies (dash cams, digital mirrors, 360° vision, amongst other camera systems), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Digital Cockpit & Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI), Cloud-Connected Infotainment & Telematics, AI & Mobility Data Platforms, and Connected Solutions for Two-Wheelers (navigation displays, safety alerts, mobile integration, SOS features).

As part of its expansion strategy, Pioneer plans to hire across a wide range of engineering disciplines in India, including talent in embedded software, computer vision, cloud connectivity, mobile integration, and AI.
