Faurecia unveils its "one-touch" technology

Inovative automatic seat folding system unveiled on the new Renault Espace crossover

Faurecia is presenting its "one touch" technology at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, which can be used to automatically fold down the vehicle's rear seats. The new Renault Espace crossover, unveiled today, is the first Renault production model to feature this innovation. The result is an ideal blend of three areas of expertise that are central to Faurecia innovation: complete seat system design; mechanisms and dedicated power solutions; seat electronics and related control systems. Through a joint approach to innovation in partnership with Renault, as well as its expertise as a systems supplier, Faurecia was able to define from scratch a solution that would allow users to instantly create more space in the back of the car—an impressive feature that was devised by carefully orchestrating all components involved in operating the rear seats.
