"Through gathering relevant data on vehicle occupants under real conditions, ESP Consulting will give Faurecia a credible scientific platform and greater insight into human factors," said Faurecia VP Cockpit of the Future, David Degrange.
"This will enable us to offer wellness solutions designed primarily to improve postural comfort, diminish fatigue, reduce stress and eliminate motion sickness."
For his part, ESP Consulting founder and CEO, Jean-Bernard Fabre added: "The partnership with Faurecia is an incredible growth accelerator, which will allow us to expand our laboratory and facilitate our international deployment."
"This strategy will involve the construction of two high-tech spaces: the biosensor-based driving simulator, fruit of our partnerships with racing teams and an environmental chamber, a device for studying human behaviour in specific climatic situations."
