As opposed to the traditional HVAC system, the joint innovation uses intelligent zonal thermal management to create personalised comfort, improving overall vehicle efficiency.

Depending on the setting, the technology can account for in-vehicle and outside environments and personal preferences and manages the distribution of heating and cooling towards segments that have a significant impact on body thermal sensation and comfort.

Lear and Gentherm first announced a joint development partnership in January, 2019 to drive the future of passenger thermal seating solutions.

The INTU Thermal Comfort with ClimateSense technology is the first market-ready solution developed from the collaboration.
