Faurecia and HELLA will appear together for the first time at this year’s IAA Transportation in Hanover (September 20-25, 2022) under their umbrella brand FORVIA.
The central highlight of FORVIA’s presence at the trade fair is a demo truck, in which booth visitors can experience FORVIA’s innovative strength integrated into a vehicle demo: the truck model showcases around 30 lighting and electronics products from HELLA, as well as a complete hydrogen storage system from Faurecia. Furthermore, it comprises a world premiere: a seat platform jointly developed by Faurecia and SEARS SEATING.
The hydrogen storage system from Faurecia integrated into the demo truck can store up to 80 kg of gaseous hydrogen.
The new modular light system LEDayFlex III from HELLA has daytime running lights, position lights and indicators and is equipped with innovative EdgeLight technology.
Alongside this main attraction, Faurecia is showcasing its Cryogenic Hydrogen Storage solution for the first time. Leveraging the higher energy density of liquid hydrogen, Faurecia has developed a compact storage solution that can store the same quantity of hydrogen with a volume reduced by 40 percent, thus enabling an easier vehicle integration and maximizing the quantity of hydrogen on-boarded. This system is particularly well suited to intensive usage and will enable a greater range of autonomy, reaching the 1,000 km milestone. This sub-cooled liquid hydrogen storage system is co-developed with Air Liquide.
Additionally, FORVIA will present its containerized storage solution, adapted for various industrials applications, including hydrogen transportation and distribution (refueling stations). By providing these lightweight and competitive solutions to the hydrogen ecosystems, such as the Zero Emission Valley in France.
