Sheeting made its EIMA debut as a part of FORVIA Group’s IGNITE technique, which incorporates the specific purpose of accelerating the expansion of its industrial automobile and off-highway companies.
- World premiere: New 90mm LED Lighting Equipment Module for Halogen Substitute
- A European first within the agricultural sector: Ergonomic seating system for off-highway purposes
- Clever electronics: Sensors, actuators, and management architectures to extend machine availability and operational reliability
At EIMA, FORVIA HELLA and Seating will reveal how the mixed experience of the teams could make fashionable off-highway equipment higher, safer and extra environment friendly. The three focal factors that may outline its presence on the present are the world premiere of its lighting expertise, FORVIA Seating’s entry into the agricultural sector, and its in depth electronics portfolio that helps the digitalization and automation of equipment producers’ platforms.
World premiere: lighting package with new 90 mm LED module
A spotlight of the exhibition would be the world premiere of the brand new FORVIA HELLA lighting package. The utterly redesigned 90 mm LED module options progressive optical expertise that allows high-precision illumination in a considerably extra compact format. In comparison with comparable third era FORVIA HELLA Bi-LED modules, the brand new lighting idea reduces set up depth by as much as 45 p.c. It is a decisive benefit contemplating the restricted area necessities of recent agricultural equipment. On the similar time, decreased power consumption will increase excessive beam luminous effectivity by nearly 80% and reduces module weight by as much as 70% in comparison with comparable options.
“Lighting expertise within the off-highway and industrial automobile markets has lengthy been greater than a security part; it’s a direct means to enhance machine effectivity and enhance operator consolation. With our new lighting package, we transfer our expertise management to the 90 mm format recognized within the business for many years and supply essentially the most compact LED lighting module with built-in high and low beam performance now we have developed to this point. Producers acquire a generational expertise leap ahead that may be applied with out altering a single mounting level.”
— Stefan van Dalen, Managing Director, FORVIA HELLA Lifecycle Options
The system is designed as a 1:1 direct substitute for present 90mm halogen options, with the mounting factors and interfaces remaining the identical. With over 30 years of expertise in 90 mm module expertise and world certifications (ECE, SAE, CCC, India), FORVIA HELLA is the primary to offer machine builders the chance to make the expertise leap from halogen to state-of-the-art LED lighting with out the necessity for added improvement efforts. Pre-series manufacturing will start by the top of 2026. The sequence is scheduled to be launched in spring 2027.
Premier within the agricultural subject
FORVIA Seating presents for the primary time at EIMA 2026 a seating system particularly designed for the calls for of off-highway autos in agriculture. The corporate brings greater than 110 years of seating experience in industrial and passenger automobile purposes to a market phase that has historically not benefited from this stage of built-in capabilities for superior security, consolation and ergonomics.
“We’re very enthusiastic about our debut at EIMA and the flexibility to supply our seating options to the agricultural equipment market. This growth is a concrete step in our IGNITE technique, via which we’re systematically rising our enterprise in each on-highway and off-highway purposes. The truth that we’re beginning mass manufacturing of agricultural seats for main agricultural equipment producers confirms our perception that producers can profit from our seating experience and thereby acquire basically higher situations of security, consolation and ergonomics for his or her machines. ”
— Sebastien Limousin, Govt Vice President, FORVIA Seating
Clever electronics structure for agricultural equipment
FORVIA HELLA will current its in depth electronics portfolio at EIMA 2026, spanning lighting expertise in addition to location sensing, machine diagnostics, power administration and local weather management. On the coronary heart of the show is CIPOS expertise (Non-Contact Inductive Place Sensor). Its non-magnetic and uncommon earth-free detection precept complies with growing uncooked materials laws, particularly within the US market. The portfolio is complemented by a patented structural monitoring sensor for early detection of bearing or machine harm, a high-voltage DC/DC converter for a secure energy provide to electrical machines, and an enhanced rain gentle sensor to detect humidity and dew level, permitting proactive defogging in enclosed cabs. Collectively, these applied sciences will allow machine builders to construct extra linked, automated, and resilient platforms.
