FORVIA, sustainable automotive technologies for smart mobility

New Year’s resolution this, New Year’s resolution that… how about we focus on the necessity of an ultra-sharp display resolution?

Because screens in the cockpit shape the entire interior experience.

That’s exactly what FORVIA’s hidden display is designed to do.

Off mode?
It melts into the interior, no black panel breaking the design.

On mode?
Crisp, high-contrast visuals, thanks to image enhancement algorithms built to overcome the limits of hidden displays.

Behind the scenes, hardware, software and HMI work together to manage brightness, heat and energy use. The result is a single, integrated module that combines screen, controls, ventilation and backlit buttons, without adding complexity.

You can see it in action in the Renault Emblème demo car, where discreet integration supports both design freedom and lower energy consumption.

This approach was recently recognized with the Best Technology Product Award for Hidden Display at the 2025 China Automotive Industry Quality Conference, a key benchmark for quality and competitiveness in the automotive industry!

🔵 Strengthening FORVIA’s hydrogen footprint in China

FORVIA Hydrogen Solutions China welcomes Sinopec Capital as a strategic minority investor through a RMB 300 million (≈ €40 million) capital increase.
A major player in China’s energy and hydrogen value chain, Sinopec Capital joins as an industrial partner through its hydrogen-focused investment fund.

This partnership reinforces FORVIA’s position in China’s fast-growing hydrogen market, strongly supported by national policies and large-scale deployment plans.
It also opens access to key industrial synergies, public projects, and an optimized local supply chain.

China is now the world’s largest hydrogen market, with rapid expansion in mobility, infrastructure, and fuel cell vehicles.

➡️ Together, FORVIA and Sinopec Capital aim to accelerate cost competitiveness, scale production, and support hydrogen adoption at industrial level.

Building on the successful Microsoft Teams integration unveiled at CES last year, we’re taking the next step with Microsoft.

Appning by FORVIA is now bringing Microsoft Foundry Tools into the core of the Appning Apps Market ecosystem.
This moves our collaboration from a single integration to a deeper, AI-driven platform approach.

What does that change, concretely?

Smarter voice interactions. More relevant content discovery. Experiences that adapt to context, not menus.

Microsoft Foundry Tools become a foundational layer for Appning, bringing secure, scalable, enterprise-grade AI into in-car digital services.

For OEMs and partners, it means AI capabilities that are ready to deploy.
Digital experiences that feel more intuitive, more useful, and easier to scale across vehicles and use cases

Meet our @Appning by FORVIA teams at CES this year!
