2016年3月9日，中国宁波讯 均胜电子（股票代码：600699）旗下子公司普瑞公司近期获得了由戴姆勒公司颁发的供应商“特别奖”。戴姆勒以此感谢普瑞公司为其提供有助于提升产品价值和促进技术发展的新型多功能方向盘控制开关。普瑞公司首席执行官克里斯多夫胡默尔和首席技术官约亨 埃伦伯格出席了在德国斯图加特举办的颁奖仪式并领奖。

据介绍，这一重要研发成果应用于奔驰E级的新一代轿车。新型触摸控制按钮被集成在方向盘上，这个集成式触摸控制按钮触摸敏感，能对拇指的水平和垂直触摸做出精准而灵敏的反应，从而触发系统程序，控制相对应功能。这样便能帮助驾驶员在双手不离开方向盘的情况下，随车一个触摸开关来配合操控组合仪表和中央显示屏显示的所有功能，诸如导航、信息娱乐等。

戴姆勒供应商大会每年举办一次，代表着公司对这些供应商的认可，如顶级的质量、创新和伙伴关系等。在戴姆勒首席执行官迪特尔泽谢及450名来自合作伙伴高级代表的见证下，包括普瑞在内的十家供应商接受戴姆勒优秀供应商奖的授予。

颁奖大会上，戴姆勒集团研发总监托马斯韦伯教授为克里斯多夫胡默尔和约亨埃伦伯格颁发“特别奖”。“由于普瑞方向盘创新触摸按键操作的整合集成，在奔驰新E级历史上，我们已经创造了新的标准”托马斯韦伯说，未来戴姆勒需要像普瑞公司一样的带来持续创新而且可靠的合作伙伴，可以让消费者体验到更多智能、安全的驾乘体验。

戴姆勒供应商奖是汽车零部件业界的至高奖项之一，代表着获奖企业的核心实力。克里斯多夫胡默尔说：“‘特别奖’不仅是对我们创新的嘉奖，也是对双方未来合作项目的激励。”
