What LG Electronics VS makes

LG Electronics' Vehicle Solution (VS) Company is one of the four operating companies within LG Electronics and the business unit through which LG competes in the automotive electronics supply chain. The VS Company organizes its automotive work into three areas: in-vehicle infotainment supplied directly from VS Company Korea; automotive lighting supplied through the ZKW Group subsidiary; and EV powertrain components supplied through the LG Magna e-Powertrain joint venture with Magna International.

The infotainment side covers head units, digital cockpit systems, telematics and connectivity modules, ADAS vision systems, and the webOS for Automotive platform -- an operating system that enables in-car content and streaming services including YouTube and Netflix. The Nanjing, China plant, certified under IATF 16949:2016 for design and manufacturing, handles production of audio-video navigation units, cluster displays, center information displays, and telematics modules.

ZKW Group, acquired by LG in April 2018 for more than EUR 1.1 billion, is headquartered in Wieselburg, Austria and manufactures headlamps, rear lamps, and lighting systems that integrate ADAS sensors. ZKW employs around 9,500 people across plants in Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, China, India, Mexico, South Korea, and the United States. ZKW traces its founding to Karl Zizala in Vienna in 1938 and has produced automotive lighting since 1989.

LG Magna e-Powertrain, a joint venture established with Magna International that began operations in July 2021, supplies electric motors, inverters, on-board chargers, and related EV drivetrain components. The VS Company also holds Cybellum, a vehicle cybersecurity company, as part of its software portfolio.

Financial performance

LG Electronics' VS division reported revenue of KRW 11.14 trillion and operating profit of KRW 559 billion for FY2025, both record highs, according to the company's February 2026 earnings release. The 5% operating income margin represents a significant step up from the 1.1% margin the Berylls by AlixPartners study attributes to FY2024 and from the near-breakeven results of prior years. The Berylls 2026 Top-100 study places VS division revenue at EUR 6.9 billion for FY2025, down 4.1% from EUR 7.2 billion in FY2024 -- a decline that reflects currency translation from Korean won into euros rather than a nominal contraction in the business, since LG's own reporting shows VS revenue and operating profit at record levels. The VS Company has posted automotive revenue growth for ten consecutive years since the division was formally established in 2013.

The division held an order backlog of approximately KRW 100 trillion at the time of the FY2025 results, providing multi-year revenue visibility. Combined operating profit from VS and LG's Eco Solution company -- the company's two core B2B pillars -- exceeded KRW 1 trillion for the first time in FY2025.
