Among the Smart Life on Board highlights:
- Integrated Cockpit of the Future. A serial production vehicle demonstrating versatile architecture and systems for a safe and personalised user experience for different driving modes
- Versatile Seat Structure. For this world premiere, Faurecia, in partnership with ZF, has developed an all-new frame concept for front and rear seats which provides a safety cocoon in all positions of the seats
- Voice-activated cockpit. Using Parrot Automotive’s multi-platform system, this demonstrator provides the driver and the passenger with an individualised voice assistant experience to manage infotainment, navigation and seat functions
- Immersive sound experience
- Faurecia has integrated sound surface activation technologies and software algorithms into a serial production vehicle to provide an immersive sound experience without using any loudspeakers
Sustainable mobility:
In Paris, the Group will also showcase technologies to support the automotive industry’s evolution towards zero emissions and digital services.
Among solutions and services highlighted for Sustainable Mobility:
- Advanced fuel cell systems. Faurecia draws on its experience in systems integration and its partnerships with Stelia Composites, the CEA and Ad-Venta, to combine fuel tank and fuel cell stack technologies into a solution for both light and commercial vehicles. Faurecia’s overall goal is to halve the cost of the fuel cell stack to make it a more attractive option for automakers to integrate into their electric vehicle range as this technology matures and refuelling infrastructure develops
- Battery systems. Faurecia is developing a range of battery top covers and full battery housing solutions for Electric and Plug-in Hybrid vehicles, with an ongoing extension towards battery thermal function integration and battery modules
- Clean Drive App for cities. Building on its technology in after-treatment systems and real time NOx emissions, Faurecia has created the Clean Drive App which will analyse drivers’ mobility behaviour and give them personalised advice in order to reduce their emissions footprint
- The app can incentivise the driver and propose alternative routes to avoid more polluted areas. Faurecia has also developed a city dashboard mapping air quality and interacting with Clean Drive app users
