The 2024 DVN Interior Workshop will be on 23-24 April at the Pullman Hotel in downtown Köln, Germany. The rubric for the event is Interior of the Future—New Features and Emerging Technologies.
The program we’re building will include sessions about HMI, seats, CMF, comfort and ccoustics, and materials and sustainability. Be sure and save the date! And watch your DVN Interior Newsletter for updates as we assemble a top-notch lineup of lectures and panel discussions.
This week’s in-depth report looks at seat heating-cooling-ventilation. It’s the latest in our ongoing series of overviews of interior technical content—joining those we’ve presented for interior lighting, HUDs, headrests, consoles, driver monitoring, IAQ, and others. These features enhance the user experience with new levels of safety and comfort. And seat-cooling also helps to reduce energy consumption, thanks to more local occupant thermal management; that’s crucial for EV range.
As the Geneva Motorshow happened last week in Qatar, Coffee Corner is reminding us how important this event was in the past, when it was happening in Switzerland.
Enjoy the week!
Sincerely yours,
