Vehicles’ interiors are designed taking into account customers’ needs as well as new trends and technologies.
Designs undergo constant development from their initial style sketches to final approval to mass production. Designs are subject to verification by means of virtual and physical testing in a process that involves the use of project management tools.
When designing vehicle interiors, the R&D center works with domestic and international suppliers in the development of such components as instrument panel cluster, dashboard beam, center consoles, door panels, AC control panels, AC vents, seats, seat structures and mechanisms, safety belts, airbags, plastic & composite interior trim elements, interior lighting elements, carpets, and insulation elements. Such development may involve codesign work at different engagement levels.
