Interior and Safety

As vehicles become more individual, interior design has gained even more importance and significant further developments in interior materials are to be expected. A wide range of materials is used, including textiles, leather, wood, metals and, increasingly, plastics. In addition to appearance and  surface ‘feel’, seating design is an increasingly significant ‘feel-good factor’. However, the material properties of stiffness and strength in safety-related materials and components also play an important role.
