Illuminated Inteva Experience Introduced at 2012 Ward's Auto Interiors Conference

TROY, Mich., May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Inteva Products introduced an interactive and innovative vehicle interior concept at this year's Ward's Auto Interiors Conference on May 17 at the Henry Hotel in Dearborn, Mich. The Inteva Experience concept integrates current and future design trends creating a comfortable, customizable and adaptive vehicle interior.

The exhibit incorporates unique features and concepts including: Adaptive Armrests, Illuminated Stitching, Interchangeable Center Stack Fabric, Illuminated Air Vents, Mobile Phone Smart Dock and a Removable Glove Box Case; all of which are surrounded by a leather cut and sewn instrument panel.

"We wanted to create a meaningful interior experience using sculptured and natural forms to conceptualize a driver-centric design that is the perfect human-machine interface," said Pat Stewart, Vice President and Executive Director of Interior Systems. "By carefully choosing materials and using our innovative stitching technology, we developed an instrument panel that receives and supports you in a way that's never been experienced before."

Selected materials included a variety of textures for a sleek look and feel: leather, Inteva's TPO, carbon fiber, spandex, brushed aluminum and fiber optics.
