Johnson controls closes the gap between car classes
High-tech, comfort and safety... no more luxury privileges

Motion Trends, PR, 11th October 2005.

Johnson Controls has developed an innovative recycling concept. Instead of relying on thermal processing of waste materials, the company has decided to leverage the benefits of materials recycling. It has developed suitable concepts for plastics and natural fiber substrates, which are not only environmentally friendly but also have no impact on costs.

This includes such measures as utilizing production waste by turning it into recycled materials that can be used for fastening hooks on seat rests. The project has been implemented into series production.

In the future – 2008 – a new door concept will be available, offering great potential for individual adaptation to each automaker’s requirements.

The new concept is a door panel module with all desired components already built into the system. Johnson Controls will supply a fully-tested module that needs only to be clipped into the door shell. This will simplify the process of assembly line production for the automaker. The concept will be suitable for everything from the lower-medium to luxury class segments.
