Stars
EV High-Voltage Wire Harnesses
As commercial vehicle electrification accelerates into 2026, CVG’s EV high-voltage wire harnesses are a Star: they supply ~38% of global electric truck/bus harness demand and grew revenue 46% in 2025 to $212M, driven by 42,000 unit wins with OEMs.
High R&D spend (~8% of segment revenue) is required to keep the technical lead; barriers to entry and certification cycles protect margins, making this segment CVG’s primary growth engine in green transport.
Warehouse Automation Solutions
CVG’s Warehouse Automation Solutions is a Star: revenue from sub-assemblies for warehouse robotics rose ~38% in 2025 to $142M, driven by e-commerce logistics scaling at 16% CAGR (2022–25); this diversifies CVG from trucking while keeping it a market leader in robotic structures.
The segment earns high growth but burns cash—R&D and capex for automation totaled $48M in 2025 (≈34% of segment sales), required to match rapid tech change and sustain competitive advantage.
Advanced Vision Safety Systems
Integration of camera-based mirrors and digital safety displays is a high-growth priority for fleets, with global ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) camera module market projected to grow ~11% CAGR to $28.5B by 2028 (Source: 2025 industry report), boosting demand for aerodynamic, liability-reducing solutions.
CVG holds a strong position in integrated electronic mirrors and displays, supplying systems to 18 OEMs and capturing ~22% share of new North American heavy-truck models in 2025, driving recurring revenue from software updates.
Sustained R&D spend—CVG increased electronics R&D to $48M in FY2025 (up 34% YoY)—is needed to fend off tech entrants like Tier-1 lidar/camera firms and preserve gross margins near 28%.
Global EV Platform Partnerships
Strategic collaborations with emerging EV OEMs have made CVG a first-to-market provider of modular interior systems, capturing design wins across 12 global platforms and targeting €420m revenue run-rate by 2026 as platforms scale from prototype to mass production by end-2025.
These projects need heavy upfront capital—€110m invested 2023–25—but secure CVG as a critical tier-one supplier for next-gen transport, with gross margins projected at ~22% once volumes normalize.
- 12 platform design wins
- €420m target revenue run-rate by 2026
- €110m capex 2023–25
- ~22% normalized gross margin
Integrated Electronic Architectures
Integrated Electronic Architectures: the shift to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is driving 12–15% CAGR demand for complex ECUs and integrated cab electronics versus ~3–4% for global light-vehicle production (IHS Markit 2025), as OEMs consolidate domains into zonal and central compute hubs.
CVG supplies high-share ECU and domain controller modules; these parts command gross margins ~28% and represent ~34% of CVG’s 2025 revenue, making the segment a BCG Matrix Star—high growth, high market share, core to valuation.
- Segment CAGR 12–15% (2023–2028)
- Global vehicle market CAGR ~3–4%
- CVG segment = ~34% revenue (2025)
- Gross margin ~28%
CVG’s Growth Engines: EV Harnesses Dominate with $212M; Automation & ECUs Scale

Cash Cows
Class 8 Truck Seating Systems
CVG holds ~45% share of the North American Class 8 truck seating market, which reached maturity by Q4 2025 with CAGR ~1% (2021–2025); volumes stable near 220k units/year.
These seating systems deliver steady EBITDA margins ~18–22% and free cash flow of about $95–120M annually, needing little new marketing or capex.
Cash from this segment funds R&D in ADAS seats and EV integrations and helped repay $150M of corporate debt in 2024–25.
North American Heavy-Duty Trim
CVG’s North American heavy-duty trim unit supplies internal cab trim and molded components to major truck OEMs like Daimler Truck North America, Volvo Group, and PACCAR, covering roughly 60% of class 8 interiors in 2024.
Traditional diesel truck production grew ~1% annually in North America (2021–2024), so capex needs remain low—maintenance and tooling refreshes under $15M/year for this segment in 2024.
Gross margins ran near 28% in 2024, generating steady free cash flow that CVG can reallocate to higher-risk electrification projects, where R&D spending rose to $45M in 2024.
Aftermarket Replacement Parts
The large installed base of CVG components across 1.2 million fleet vehicles in North America drives steady demand for replacement seats, mirrors, and trim, producing roughly $185 million in annual aftermarket revenue (2025). This aftermarket is highly profitable—gross margins near 42% versus 18% on new OEM contracts—and resists new-vehicle cyclicality, with stable YoY sales variance under 3%. It requires minimal promotion to retain a 68% market share among fleet managers, making it a reliable cash generator for CVG.
Construction Equipment Cab Components
CVG’s construction equipment cab components are cash cows: the mature earthmoving interiors market grew ~2% in 2024 and CVG holds an estimated 28% niche share, driven by a reputation for durable seats, consoles, and HVAC modules and low threat from new entrants.
Stable global infrastructure spend—~USD 1.7 trillion in 2024—provides steady order flow and predictable cash generation; gross margins on these components average ~32%, supporting free cash flow for reinvestment.
- Market growth ~2% (2024)
- CVG niche share ~28%
