Automotive Seating for the Future

As technology advances and consumer behavior shifts, the automotive industry must adapt. Electrification is accelerating faster than expected, driven by new regulations like the Euro 7 emission standards and the EU Fit for 55 programs.

One key area of transformation is automotive seating.

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) demand higher power efficiency, noise reduction, and lightweight components. Seats must be quieter, more durable, and fully maneuverable, all while integrating additional functions that increase weight and complexity. For design engineers, the challenge is clear. Automotive seats need to deliver a smoother, quieter, and more comfortable experience, costs need to be minimized while meeting stricter sustainability regulations and flexible, lightweight, and secure seating solutions are requested by the end user.
At GGB, we understand that small components make a significant difference. Bearings are critical to seat design, influencing the housing, shaft, and support structures. Choosing the right bearing and/or coating solution prevents unforeseen issues and ensures optimal performance. Our expertise in tribology, material science, and engineering design enables us to create customized solutions that address the industry's toughest challenges.
