Cabin innovation

Decorative Smart Surface: interior illumination provides decoration

In this category, illumination provides information to the driver and/or passenger.

In this category, illumination facilitates interaction between the vehicle and the driver/passenger, with the benefits of flexible styling options and the elimination of mechanical buttons.

Indicator positioning and alignment technique is used to integrate translucent decoration with operation and display function (=HMI), creating seamless and advanced styling in the vehicle cabin.

Marelli offers a wide variety of decorative skins and fabrics such as warm wood-like, luxurious-look sustainable artificial leather, piano black (high gloss), cool metal-like finishes and different fabrics, which can all be integrated with a light source.

Translucent Switch is the integration of translucent decoration with an electronic device. With this solution, capacitive touch and haptic feedback can be enabled and integrated without compromising the esthetical design.

Significant contribution from Marelli Electronic Systems helps to create a distinguished look inside the cabin.

Marelli Interior Experience offers Cockpit Module (CPM) with flexible styling and functional options - empowering communication and safety. Our CPM design is based on careful study of ergonomics as well as safety evaluations, ensuring maximized cabin space with signature looks in different materials.

By collaborating with the Marelli Electronic Systems division, we can supply Cockpit Modules and instrument panels with seamlessly integrated large displays.

Our sliding storage and compartment solutions can provide extra storage capacity where needed.

The air vents are as thin as 25 mm with an illuminated fin. The direction of airflow is automatically adjusted to suit the seating position and environment.

The injection molding skin is a sustainable solution enabling an environmentally friendly molding process to reduce CO₂ emissions due to less heat waste during production.

Our lightiweigh cross car beam is completely made from aluminum that allows a 30% weight reduction compared to a steel cross car beam.

Our lightweight instrument panel substrate results in a consistent weight reduction thank to a foam molding and high rigidity material that reduce plate thickness and density, ensuring proper performance.

Our antibacterial and antiviral skin is SIAA (Society of International sustaining growth for Antimicrobial Articles) certified solution that works by adding antibacterial and antiviral agent to the topcoat instead of material skin itself in order to enable cost reduction while maintaining high-quality standards.

Safety and communication are the key areas to investigate when developing the future vehicle cabin.
