Exploring the future of automotive innovation
At FORVIA, we develop sustainable technologies covering multiple domains of the vehicle — from modular cockpit and seating architectures to clean mobility, vision and sensing solutions. Discover our innovations below.
Access and comfort modules
We provide systems that streamline vehicle access through a range of essential actuators for contemporary cars. Coupled with our proficiency in electronics, we enhance the overall comfort for each passenger, allowing easy retrieval of their previous settings.
Advanced safety seating systems
FORVIA provides car manufacturers with an extensive selection for designing and producing seat structures and mechanisms, which are integral to car safety. Whether manual or electric, these seat mechanisms offer a range of movements that align with the latest trends in electric vehicles. Combined to sensing technology, they provide both safety and comfort for drivers and passengers around the world.
Car interiors
Advanced modularity, coupled with proficiency in integrating sustainable materials & smart functionalities into surfaces, empowers us to craft tailor-made interiors that offer heightened comfort, sustainability, and digital sophistication.
Digital cockpit
Premier display technologies, combined with our science of surface activation, enable us to deliver a new level of cockpit experiences. Technologies that serve comfort, safety, and interactivity.
Hydrogen mobility
A pioneer in fuel cell stacks and hydrogen storage solutions for mobility, distribution, transport, and stationary applications, FORVIA is at the heart of a range of projects and partnerships accelerating hydrogen mobility on a global scale.
Intelligent seating comfort
The quality of any experience in a vehicle depends largely on the car seat, since it is the first point of contact between the occupants and the vehicle itself. With this in mind, FORVIA has developed an extensive portfolio of smart high-tech products that improve car seat comfort: our seat sensors are able to identify potential physical pain and then activates corrective actions, such as massages, haptic vibrations, seat position adjustments and personalized sounds or light.
Lighting
Lighting is essential for seeing and being seen. FORVIA provides dynamic and customizable solutions that address three central preoccupations for automakers: safety, design and sustainability.
Modularity
The overall conception and design of car elements must be simplified to reduce the number of elements and global complexity. Modularity brings simplicity through the assembly of modules, which positively impacts costs, reduces the overall weight of the car, and enables future upgrades that are essential to extend lifespan of vehicles.
Seating solutions for electric vehicles
Our automotive seating solutions are meticulously engineered to seamlessly accommodate the battery placement requirements of electric vehicles.
Sustainable materials
Through MATERI'ACT, we develop new compounds and bio-based or recycled materials that enable significant CO₂ reductions compared to industry standards.
Ultra-low emissions
FORVIA is supporting OEMs to meet stricter emissions and pollutant regulations through a wide range of technologies for internal combustion engine, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, H2 ICE technologies and for multiple vehicle segments. Thanks to these solutions, FORVIA is depolluting 35 million vehicles every year.
Vehicle electrification
FORVIA offers advanced products for electric vehicles: efficient technology for power conversion, energy management and thermal management as well as position sensors with CIPOS technology for various applications with excellent resistance against magnetic fields. All designed for excellence in EV development.
Vision systems and by-wire control
Seeing, understanding and reacting to potential risks in the driving environment is critical to keeping road users safe. FORVIA provides the technologies outside and inside the vehicle that ensure that drivers and automated driving functions are making the right decisions. Intelligent sensors, actuators, control modules and software solutions detect, evaluate and inform of variability that may impact road safety.
