In addition, he also mentioned the need for environmental protection and health, ' fabrics and parts materials should be added with more environmentally friendly natural elements. '
The versatile nature of reconfigurable seats
From the above demand trends, reconfigurable seats can be described as timely.
In 2022, in line with the future trend, Magna launched the concept of M + Space.Around this concept, it launched a number of innovative mass production technologies.
One of them is the foldable seat technology jointly developed by Magna and Chrysler.
According to Magna, it is thanks to this seat that the Chrysler Grand Jet Dragon model has been able to surge in sales in the North American market, and this technology has also established Magna 's leading position in seat technology in the second and third rows.
And it has also created the world 's first all-electric folding seat in the third row, which can realize 4 / 6 sub-seat folding according to the use requirements, and can also realize one-button folding to the body floor to release the use space in the car.
Another innovative technology based on the concept of M + Space is the reconfigurable seat. It can quickly and flexibly realize rich and varied scene applications, such as ' parent-child ', ' rest ', ' talk ', ' entertainment ', ' welcome ', ' fishing ', etc.
The two core technologies of the reconfigurable seat are the long slide rail and the rotating chassis.
It is reported that with the blessing of long slide rails, in the case of limited space in the car, the front and rear common rails have overlapping sliding strokes, which can maximize the space utilization and optimize the passenger experience. The slide rail uses ultra-high strength steel and roll forming technology, and can be customized for any length as required. The manual and electric long slide rails are designed on the same platform, which not only saves costs, but also provides different options.
The rotating chassis is based on the electric stepless turntable and the seat integrated seat belt ( ABTS ), which can realize the stepless rotation adjustment of large angle and the locking function of multiple positions, and support passengers to enjoy the interior space of the car in a more diversified sitting position. Popularly speaking, the seat equipped with a rotating chassis can truly realize a variety of scenes such as sitting, side sitting, and lying sitting. You can sit as you want.
Of course, as Sun Wei said, the rotation of the seat in the car requires a certain space, it can achieve the premise of the rotation adjustment depends on the width of the seat itself and the space available in the car, ' This requires us to design and define the width of the car and the width of the seat, without sacrificing the size and comfort of the seat and other functions in the car, to achieve optimization. '
According to him, Magna 's long slide rails and turntables have different sizes and heights to adapt to different models, and are widely applicable. Cars, SUVs, and MPVs can all be equipped with reconfigurable seat products.
It is worth noting that in addition to long slide rails and rotating chassis, Magna 's reconfigurable seats also apply some other innovative technologies.
Such as multi-functional magnetic suction ecological interface. Sun Wei said : ' It can bring more rich experience to the back row passengers. It can connect the mobile phone / Pad to realize the magnetic charging. It can not only track the drama without worry, but also connect the makeup mirror, so that the second row of baby mother can become exquisite. It can also be used as a hanger for clothes and a hook for pet bags, which is very practical. '
For example, the electric comfortable foot support, 105 degrees of large angle stepless adjustment, can let the rear passengers put their legs or feet, combined with the adjustment of the long slide rail, can greatly improve the comfort experience of the rear passengers.
Product potential will be gradually released
Reconfigurable seats with ' explosive physique ' have ushered in substantial progress.
In June, Magna announced that its Reconfigurable Seats had been ordered by a local Chinese automaker and that it planned to start mass production in the fourth quarter of this year.
It is understood that this set of solutions is entirely developed by Magna 's local team for local customers.
