Project Teaser

Enhancing cabin ambiance and functionality with ultra-thin and flexible LED lighting

LEDs have become more popular in automotive interior lighting as they can create an immersive illumination experience that enhances mood, wellbeing, and comfort. Besides offering an effective brand differentiation, they can also improve driver and passenger awareness of external obstacles through visual cues. Whether for luxury, infotainment, or safety use cases, interior lighting is becoming a must-have feature in automotive design.

This Project Teaser is also featured on our agenda. Click to see more.

Access Startup

Integrating vacuum technology into convertible roofs to improve stiffness, deformation resistance, and shaping

There are two types of convertible roofs: so called hard- and softtops. Hardtops provide similar characteristics as closed roofs, but occupy a large space within a car. They usually consist of metal or plastic. In contrast, soft roofs are usually made of textile materials. They can be retracted without occupying so much space but lack the robustness of a hardtop. Designing and developing new solutions that can bring together the best of both worlds remains an important challenge in modern automotive engineering.
