At the 2024 CES, Yanfeng debuted its EVI (Electric Vehicle Interior) concept, a vision for future vehicle architecture, that eliminates the traditional instrument panel, and incorporates all key features and interior functions into a Smart Cabin seat, including an active headrest with integrated audio, safety systems, smart surfaces, and storage and charging integrated into the seat.
Through the development of EVI and the Smart Cabin Seat, Yanfeng's experts challenged themselves to simplify the vehicle interior while keeping the functionality that users expect. The Yanfeng solution builds them back in a unique way, in an all new module that incorporates both front seats, integrated floor console, steer-by-wire input system, HMI, displays, seatbelts and airbags, in addition to a HVAC microclimate system for thermal comfort.
At CES, Yanfeng introduced a new generation of its Hover Seat with Seat Sensing Posture ID technology that adds new levels of comfort. The seat based on zero gravity research, by detecting the occupant’s body language, such as seating position, level of fatigue, and body type actively releases fatigue for passengers throughout the ride and to improve the driving experience.
At CES, Yanfeng unveiled its CYMATICX sound flow cabin expanding from physical product offerings to immersive audio experiences for vehicle interior spaces. Based on the new self-developed OURANOS Sound Domain Controller platform, CYMATICX integrates a variety of innovative acoustic technologies such as HOLOSOUND immersive audio, somatosensory augmented sound, SONIX acoustic follower algorithms, and special flexible thin film transducers.
Airbags must work perfectly all over the world – be it in Siberia or in the desert. An airbag module is exposed to all potential environmental impacts that might affect the product such as physical force, frost, sun, salt or dust.
This is why Yanfeng tests the airbag modules under all climate conditions.
