Automotive Wire Types
1. Introduction
Automotive wires serve as the blood vessels of the electrical systems inside a vehicle, providing power as well as signals to these electrical systems.
With the development of modern electric vehicles, more and more manufacturers are demanding high-quality automotive wires.
In this article, I will introduce the types of automotive wires to provide a selection guide for buyers and distributors.
2. What is automotive wire
