Comfort – Cost – Lightweight – Innovations

Vehicle seating is the direct interface between vehicles and occupants and it makes a significant difference to the overall in-vehicle experience and comfort. Seating engineers are striving to design and provide more comfortable seats ergonomically and biomechanically. At the same time, despite of the cost reduction pressures, they are also faced with new challenges of designing lightweight yet safer seating structure to improve fuel efficiency and emissions. They also have to work within the spatial confines of the vehicle interior within more compact vehicles which turns out to be the trend of future vehicle design.

The 4th Innovative Seating Conference will bring gather the industry leaders from OEMs, Tier Suppliers as well as pioneering researchers in the space to share 15+ hard-hitting case studies surrounding the following mission critical issues:

  • Providing an Overall Sense of Comfort through Ergonomic and Biomechanical Design
  • Designing Lightweight Seating Systems to Improve Fuel Efficiency
  • Ensuring Occupant Safety
  • Innovative Design for Cost Saving
