Europe's only
Automotive Seating event returns to Germany in February 2024, with a a razor-focused programme designed in collaboration with major OEM and Tier-1 companies, focusing on the major drivers and trends, most pressing challenges, and high-end sustainability and circularity targets.
The
automotive seating industry recognises that seat design and functionality will need to adapt to meet evolving mobility needs. Seating continues to be a hotbed of innovation, now driven by vehicle electrification, autonomous vehicles and automated features, high-end sustainability and circularity targets and light-weighting goals.
Together, these industry drivers are creating enormous challenges and for the seating segment and adding levels of complexity not seen before including:
- Establishing what is realistically possible, feasible and purposeful today, and how can we achieve efficiency, weight reduction, cost reduction, occupant comfort and safety goals today?
- How to design lightweight seat architecture for increased electrification while meeting requisite weight reduction targets
- How to build versatile seat concepts into autonomous vehicles for open-position occupancy without compromising occupant safety and comfort.
- How to find the sweet spot between 'seat weight & occupant comfort', 'seat weight & vehicle performance' and 'safety functions & weight'.
- How to design seats for a circular economy and adopt sustainable production approaches and tools.
- How to adopt lightweight/sustainable materials that have potential to reduce weight and cost.
- How to make car seats smarter, more intuitive, and convenient for the user?
We've just scratched the surface of the intelligence we have gathered from OEMs and Tier-1s, and what's in store for you at
Automotive Seating Innovation 2024. Focusing on realistic solutions and seating concepts, and not conceptual ideas, the 2024 event will deliver new information, innovative solutions, and innovative approaches to achieve OEM major goals including but not limited to weight reduction, improving comfort and occupant safety, sustainability, and circularity.
