Automotive supplier Fischer Automotive announced it was supplying a dashboard air vent set and cupholders to Daimler for the Mercedes EQS EV luxury saloon.
The car has a 1.41m Hyperscreen that sweeps across the cockpit with curved lines. Two air vents emerge to the left and right-hand side of the display as a contrast to the smooth and seamless display surface.

The vents were developed and manufactured in Horb by Fischer Automotive which said “he futuristic design featuring a turbine look is the hallmark of the vents, which stand out significantly from the puristic Hyperscreen, making them a focal point”.
The upper edge of the Hyperscreen has additional air vents but these cross-dashboard outlets are subtly integrated into the overall design. Stand-out features include the floating, ‘silver shadow’-coloured handles (operating elements) as well as the rose gold three-component trim strip. As an added highlight, the vents can be illuminated in various colours.
Fischer also supplies air vents for the rear seat and B-pillar area, as well as ventilation channels.
An assembly assistant was used for the lateral and central air vent assembly lines with their highly complex kinematics and illumination.
