FORVIA, des technologies automobiles durables pour une mobilité intelligente

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Yves Dumoulin as Executive Vice President of Faurecia Clarion Electronics, effective January 19, 2026.

Yves joined FORVIA in 2016 and has held a wide range of leadership roles across regions and business divisions.
Prior serving as Senior Vice President of Faurecia Hydrogen Solutions since 2023, Yves succeeds Jim Chang.

This appointment sends a strong signal of our ambition to further accelerate FORVIA’s development as leading, technology-driven company.

Electronic is at the heart of future mobility, and this strategic move will reinforce our innovation leadership while enabling us to anticipate the rapid transformations shaping the automotive industry.

A first for FORVIA worldwide!

Our Yancheng Seating plant has been recognized by the World Economic Forum as a Lighthouse Factory for Outstanding Performance in Productivity.
This distinction places Yancheng among a very small group of industrial sites setting the pace for the future of manufacturing.

Why Yancheng?
Because performance here is driven by transformation.
Facing strong cost and quality pressures, the plant deployed 40+ advanced digital use cases, combining machine learning, deep learning and generative AI.

The results are concrete and include:
➡️Quality costs significantly reduced
➡️AI investments paid back in 7.5 months
➡️Destructive testing replaced by data models with >90% accuracy

After 14 years, Yancheng shows what intelligent manufacturing can deliver when technology, people and execution move together.

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!
