At Automotive Interiors Expo North America in Novi, Michigan, Continental is talking to visitors about its Benova Eco Protect surface material, specially developed for demanding premium applications in vehicle interiors. The material was recently PETA-certified and a finalist for the Automotive News PACE Award.
“Benova Eco Protect meets the demands for the future of automotive interior design,” explained Christoph Seeger, head of segment automotive interior at Continental, on Day 1 of the show. “It combines sustainability with high quality as well as top-performing attributes such as excellent heat and UV resistance, all of which make the material extremely long lasting. Now even lighter colors can be used for high-profile applications.
“It is produced sustainably without using any materials of animal origin or other critical components and is extremely low in emissions and odor. In comparison with other conventional materials on the market it shows a significantly better CO2 balance, unique comfort and design opportunities (soft haptics, light colors, full choice of grain) as well as unique technical properties.
“Furthermore, the production process is possible on Continental Surface Solutions’ standard production machines without major investment and relies on special and sustainable raw materials (water based, air for foaming).”
In terms of powered products on its booth, Continental is demonstrating its MultiViu Compact 7 Display, MultiViu Professional 12 Display, In2visible Displays, Ac2ated Sound for Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS), Continental Smart Access (CoSmA) portable demo unit and Scenic View HUD.
Non-powered products on display include Compact HUD, Combiner HUD, a Telematics unit, Body Control Module, also capable of Passive Start and Entry (PASE), Gateway and Generic I/O module / Seat Control Unit.
