Neuss, Germany, 20 July, 2023 (APA/OTS) - Yanfeng, a leading global
automotive supplier, has recently expanded its research and
development activities in Europe. The new equipment is part of its
Technical Center in Trenčín, Slovakia, and focuses on the company's
Safety Systems business. It complements the existing interiors
product portfolio and testing capabilities at the site. With this
investment in new equipment and technologies, Yanfeng extends its

The new test stations are for the testing of steering wheels
and airbag modules.
The company has invested around 2.5 million Euros in the
state-of-the-art equipment. These include a mechanical shock test
station as well as a drop tester, inflator deployment test machine,
an additional climate chamber, a salt spray chamber and also a dust
test station, which uses fine dust from the Arizona desert. A new
temperature shock tester, an airbag test center and a robot test
system have also been installed.
"Airbag modules and steering wheels are crucial for driver and
passenger safety. This applies both to airbags, which only work
once, as well as steering wheels, which must function continuously
every day," explained Ivan Kebísek, Engineering Director and Site
Leader of the Yanfeng Technical Center in Trenčín. "This means that
our products must fulfill the highest quality standards and work
perfectly."
"Yanfeng is the only automotive supplier that offers in-house
passive safety solutions and interior integration from a single
source," said Francois Stouvenot, CEO EMEA and NA at Yanfeng
Automotive Interiors. "With our extensive expertise in interiors,
seating, and passive safety, we are able to develop holistic
interior solutions with seamlessly integrated safety systems."
The company's safety technology ranges from a smart steering
wheel, that warns drivers through visual signals or vibrations if
they unexpectedly stray from their lane, to seating systems with
automatic seat belt tightening, restraint systems and airbags.
A global Engineering network to better serve the customers
Over the past few years, Yanfeng has been increasing its
development and testing capabilities for Central and Eastern Europe
(CEE) in Trenčín. Since 2017 the company has invested continuously
in additional testing equipment. The Trenčín Technical Center is
one of two major European research and development sites in
Yanfeng's global engineering network. It supports the Tech Center
at the company's European Headquarters in Neuss, Germany, with
environmental, functional, durability and material tests for
automotive interior components and products, including instrument
panels, cockpits, door panels and floor consoles. The testing has
recently been extended to include the passive safety portfolio.
"The Technical Center in Trenčín is one of 12 locations in our
global engineering network, and it has a vital role in our research
and development activities," said Francois Stouvenot. "The
investment in this new safety test equipment enables us to enhance
our capabilities and further support our customers locally."
