FORVIA

[🔴EVENT RESCHEDULED TO NOV. 18 - Mark your calendars] Join us for a live event marking the launch of the Blue Effect! 🚀 Beyond a simple program, it represents a collective effort to accelerate our positive impact on the planet and society. Because at FORVIA, we recognize that climate change poses an urgent threat to our society, and we all have a responsibility to act against it. Our commitments are strong, and our initiatives are well underway. However, to make a real difference, we need to accelerate—together with all our stakeholders. As part of an interdependent system, each of us, at every level, can make a change. 🔍We will dedicate this session to how FORVIA's innovation – focused on using less, better, and longer – ensures that our “designed for Scope 3” products remain aspirational, desirable, and affordable while driving sustainable change. Featuring the participation of Patrick KOLLER, Chief Executive Officer, FORVIA, Victoria CHANIAL, EVP Group Communications, Public Affairs and Sustainability, FORVIA, Elisabeth DELVAL, Group Sustainability VP, FORVIA, and Jaideep Prabhu, Professor of Business and Enterprise at the Judge Business School, University of Cambridge.

Electric vehicles are shaping the future of mobility, and FORVIA is at the heart of this transformation. We're excited to join "La Fabrique de l'Électrique" ⚡️ at the 2024 Paris Motor Show! This immersive space showcases the innovation behind Electric Vehicles production—from batteries and motors to charging infrastructure. Unveiled by the PFA - Plateforme automobile, the French automotive industry federation, it has been designed in collaboration with key industrial players investing in France in R&D and in the production of components and of battery- and hydrogen-powered electric vehicles. It aims at raising public awareness of the challenges and opportunities of electromobility and the major transformation currently underway in the automotive sector. Plus, FORVIA will showcase some technologies like hydrogen tanks, a sustainable seat demo, or MATERI'ACT’s sustainable materials. 📅 Visit us in Hall 5.1! Mondial de l’Auto - Paris #EVs

At IAA Transportation, the Renault Master H2-Tech was named #VanOfTheYear2025! We’re proud to play a part in this success: 1️⃣ The van features our hydrogen storage systems (up to 9 kg of hydrogen across five tanks!). Which provides outstanding capacity for light commercial vehicles with intensive daily use. 2️⃣ Second, we designed the seats, and assemble the front-row seats — from individual seats to benches. And manufacture key elements like seat frames, padding, and covers. 3️⃣ FORVIA also offers the dashboard and the wireless charging system. 4️⃣ As for the FORVIA HELLA teams, they equip the van with technologies such as the Rain-Light sensors. While the rain sensor detects varying rain situations and automatically adjusts the wipers, the light sensor ensures the low beam activates in the dark or when entering tunnels. Nearly all FORVIA’s activities represented in one vehicle! A big congratulations to our partner HYVIA (a Renault Group and Plug Power joint venture) for this well-deserved recognition! We can't wait to see this van on the road.

Dans cette vidéo 👀 : l’une des toutes premières voitures équipées d’une mini caméra, dans l’habitacle, détectant la distraction ou la somnolence du conducteur ! Car, depuis cet été, les véhicules neufs vendus en Europe doivent en être équipés. Le système peut aussi analyser l’humeur du conducteur et proposer des solutions adéquates (une musique relaxante 🎵 pour réduire la nervosité, par exemple) Comment ? Nos experts Benjamin Bouyssou et Ayla Vanden Driessche font la démonstration aux équipes du média RTBF de ce système qui implique une caméra infrarouge suivant le regard. Sans rien enregistrer au passage, bien sûr.

Yesterday, we took part in the 13th edition of the “Trophées des Femmes de l'Industrie” 🏆 (Women in Industry Awards) by L'Usine Nouvelle.

🔴 FORVIA HELLA’s new rear lamp, a first of its kind in China, is featured in the all-electric luxury C-class sedan Z10 by LYNK & CO, from Geely Auto Group! What makes it unique? This RGB LED rear combination lamp, with full-color light animations 🌈, is the first to go into series production in China. As you may know, individualization and brand differentiation are becoming increasingly important in the Asian market. That’s why the teams have created a rear lamp that particularly aligns with this demand. 👇👇👇 It offers a total of 256 different color variants, creating multi-colored lighting animations. For welcome/goodbye sequences, vehicle locking, or even vehicle charging. While RGB LED technology is already well-known for interiors, applying it to exterior lighting opens up a whole new level of customer experience!

Among the many technologies showcased on our booth at IAA Transportation this week, here are 3 key innovations that visitors have surely noticed. And one of them is even brand new. 👉 We’re talking of our new range of seats for trucks, focusing on safety and comfort! It’s based on a unique, light seat structure platform integrating: ✅ Suspension systems to reduce drivers’ exposure to vibrations ✅ Motorized and pneumatic adjustments for a wide range of body shapes ✅ Wellness features such as massage, heating, or lumbar support Safety and comfort were not our only concern. We also designed this range with sustainability in mind. First, it integrates sustainable materials like Auraloop®, a cushioning solution made from 100% recyclable polyester-based fibers. Second, it features a modular design to extend the seats’ lifespan. 👉 FORVIA HELLA’s Truck Rear Combination Lamp Concept enhances road safety by displaying light-functions across a large area. More precisely, innovative LED technologies ensure high visibility while reducing weight and energy consumption. EdgeLight and LED light curtain technology offer customizable appearance. This technology achieves up to 30% of CO2 savings if sustainable materials are used. 👉 Finally, our XL Gaseous Type IV tank is a very large 70MPa high-pressure tank extending truck autonomy range. Besides this, it offers: ✅ New vehicle integration options - wheelbase or cabin module - allowing many design possibilities. ✅ Maximized storage capacity, refueling time under 15 minutes, optimal safety.
