GM and Faurecia, growing closer
After bankruptcy and government rescue, the new General Motors is
smaller, more nimble and back to profitability. The Detroit legend also
has ambitious plans for the future … with Faurecia as a partner.
F
aurecia often organizes customer Tech Days, but a recent
meeting in Auburn Hills, Mich. among General Motors,
Faurecia Interior Systems and Automotive Seating was
especially memorable. Not only was it held at the request of the
customer, with a worldwide agenda and executive management
from both companies attending, it was also followed by very
promising developments.
Behind the Tech Day invitation is GM’s search for technological
solutions that will help differentiate it from competitors – a strong
sign that GM believes Faurecia can provide added value.
Exclusive offer
Feedback from GM has been excellent. Follow-up meetings for
implementing new products such as LOCOP (low-weight covering
premium) have already started. Moreover, the customer requested
another Tech Day specifically to assess Faurecia’s electrical
capabilities, during which Faurecia displayed the SmartFit™ innovation,
and Infoskin and Centerstack (Interior Lighting and HMI Solutions) to
the customer. (See related story on page 4 and 5).
GM wants to work with Faurecia earlier in the production process,
incorporating new products into its early designs. It also has offered
to work exclusively with Faurecia if the technology put forward is
particularly innovative.
Faurecia now expects to produce several new products that will
strengthen GM’s position in a given market and provide long-term
benefits to both companies.

n 2010, Faurecia acquired four companies. These actions illustrate
Faurecia’s development priorities – to reinforce its business
activities and achieve technological leadership.
It started in February with EMCON Technologies, which allowed
Faurecia to become the leader in emissions control technologies. At the
end of March, it was Plastal Germany’s turn to join Faurecia, followed
by Plastal Spain at the end of September. This resulted in Faurecia
Automotive Exteriors capturing the number one ranking in the sector
in Europe. In October, the Group purchased a division of Hoerbiger
that produces pneumatic seat comfort systems, mainly targeted at
the premium vehicle segment. And finally, at the end of November,
Faurecia announced the acquisition of Angell-Demmel Europe. The
company’s decorative metal design elements further strengthen
Faurecia’s offerings in automotive interiors.
Adding to the FAE
footprint in China
According to the wishes of our customer FAW-VW, Faurecia
Automotive Exteriors is about to create a joint venture (JV) in China to
manufacture bumpers for the Audi A6. Faurecia is joining forces with
the Chinese company Huaxiang’s subsidiary firm, Ningbo Huazhong,
to create this joint venture, with each stakeholder holding 50 percent.
Management of the shared company will be carried out by Faurecia.
The JV is also taking over the production of the Magotan, the
Chinese version of the VW Passat, currently produced by Huaxiang.
This JV, the first in a long line, allows FAE to establish a foothold in
China, which is a strategic market for the Group.

Innovation grabs attention at
LA Auto Show
SmartFit™ customizes comfort and safety
At this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, one of Faurecia’s innovations
drew attention from both the automotive and technology fields –
SmartFit™, the phone-activated seat adjustment system.
This application (app) concept takes the guesswork out of
properly adjusting seats. It’s designed for smartphones and can
automatically adjust the vehicle’s seats to conform to the healthiest
position for each occupant, controlling the seat wirelessly through a
system like Bluetooth.
Faurecia innovators demonstrated how the app works using a
22-way power seat from the Audi A8 – one of the most complex seats
on the market. They anticipate SmartFit can be ready for 2014 or 2015
model year vehicles.
How it works
The first step for the custom adjustment involves getting the user’s
measurements. SmartFit guides the user through an easy-to-follow
process for creating a digital model of his or her body. The user types in
his or her height and weight. Then, someone takes a photo of the user
SmartFit fulfills the
consumer’s wish for
improved wellness by
creating a seat-tailoring
system designed by
ergonomic experts.
sitting down. This is done with the smartphone. The application then
directs the user to extend an arm to the side and swing it up and down.
All of this data is fed into a Faurecia server, and using the Group’s
expertise developed from years of testing and development, the perfect
settings are calculated.
The tailored fit is then sent wirelessly from the database to the
phone to the seat, which automatically adjusts itself. Individual profiles
for each occupant can be stored in the seat’s memory.
Why is there ‘an app for that’?
SmartFit will reduce the complexity of the seat by using a device
that occupants already bring into their vehicles every day. Redundant
components could be eliminated, which would reduce weight in the
vehicle and the use of chemical-based materials.
In addition to these Clean aspects, SmartFit will support healthy
posture for drivers. It will improve overall comfort, thereby reducing
potential distractions that might otherwise result as drivers readjust
their seats to find a comfortable position. SmartFit fulfills the
consumer’s wish for improved wellness by creating a seat-tailoring
system designed by ergonomic experts.
The benefits of SmartFit could also include increased customer
satisfaction for automakers. Occupants will be able to take full
advantage of advanced comfort systems, which could raise satisfaction
scores. No longer will consumers get confused by multiple controls.
Nor would they need to struggle as they drive to find the best
adjustment for their body. SmartFit will automatically customize the
seat just for them.
A ‘Clean’ start
Innovations destined to move from LA Auto Show to highways
As new-generation vehicles have moved from concepts to consumers,
Faurecia has supported their evolution by developing lightweight systems.
This Clean start has the auto industry considering space, materials,
comfort, efficiency, safety, quality and appearance. As a result, automakers
are rapidly adopting Faurecia Clean innovations like those displayed at the
2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. In the months to come, these systems and
concepts and others will move steadily from the show floor to the nation’s
highways – reducing fuel consumption and helping make possible a new
generation of cars and trucks.
Lightweight, recyclable sustainable comfort
This new generation of super-thin seatbacks and
cushions replaces traditional steel and foam
components with lighter and more easily
recyclable materials. The composite seatback is
15 percent thinner than the industry’s thinnest,
adding to a cabin’s volume. This allows
designers to add legroom or even shorten the
overall length of a vehicle. The performance
cushioning that is used with the thin seatback
is cleaner and healthier than current ‘state of the art’ seat cushioning.
The thermoplastic elastomer padding incorporates features that interface
with the seat frame, soft cover, suspension systems, comfort adjustments,
climate systems and other controls. These materials create a seat that is
more comfortable and durable than conventional seats that use foam.
Exhaust heat recovery for hybrids and plug-ins
As the auto industry transforms much
of its fleet to more environmentally
responsible hybrid electric and
plug-in electric vehicles, Faurecia
is already far up the road with new
emissions control technologies to improve
performance and fuel economy. For instance, hybrids must
run the internal combustion engine longer to heat the cabin effectively
because electric engines do not generate heat. Faurecia’s Exhaust Heat
Recovery System takes heat quickly from the combustion engine’s
exhaust. This capability can reduce the amount of time that the engine
must run to sufficiently heat the cabin by as much as 50 percent.

Clean
“Clean” intensifies the idea of “green” to sharply
focus on weight reduction, incorporating lighter
and more environmentally suitable materials
and natural fibers inside, outside and under the
car. With lighter-weight seats, emissions control
technologies, interiors, front ends and acoustics
systems, coupled with an emphasis on using
recyclable materials, Faurecia’s Clean initiative
is helping contribute to a more responsive and
responsible auto industry.
SmartFit connects your
seat functionality to your
smartphone.
Thermal Enhancer™ reduces diesel fuel needs
To respond to the needs of diesel trucks, Faurecia has advanced the
ActiveClean® Thermal Enhancer™. This device is a small combustion
chamber where precisely
measured quantities of
diesel fuel are injected
and burned when not
enough natural exhaust
heat is available for
regeneration and efficient catalytic
operations. ActiveClean operates at 80 to 90 percent efficiency,
requiring much less extra fuel than conventional diesel heating methods.
Low-weight covering premium (LOCOP)
instrument panel skin
This cut-and-sew solution offers the soft touch feel of polyurethane
covering material yet is much lighter in weight and more easily recycled
than traditional fabric. It lowers the weight of the IP by about 20 percent
(200-300g) and reduces costs by 20-35 percent. The material can also be
removed in one piece, at the end of the life of the vehicle, and is
easily ground up so it can be made available for reuse, rather than
sent to the landfill.
Thermoplastic liftgate
This breakthrough product has elevated ease
of use and slashed the weight of the tailgate.
Instead of producing the liftgate with steel,
it is molded from thermoplastic, painted
and equipped with foam inside the door for
sound deadening. Weight is reduced by up to
40 percent and OEMs can save up to 70 percent
on tooling. Designers also have more freedom in
shaping the liftgate. It will integrate rear window,
spoiler, structures and panels.

6 In Short
Q&A
Fiat 500
Shannan Triplette, Vice
President of the Chrysler &
New Domestics Customer
Division, FIS NAO
The release of the Fiat 500 will mark the launch of the
brand in North America. What was it like working with Fiat
on this project?
This project was unique to Faurecia Interiors because it was not only the first time working
with a combined Fiat/Chrysler organization product team, but the program was also
developed in a very short and challenging 14-month time frame (from award until launch).
Being part of the first joint Fiat/Chrysler product development extended team was very
interesting and exciting for everyone at Faurecia in both Auburn Hills and Puebla. Seeing the
Italian and North American teams come together for a common goal was a real pleasure.
What are some of the innovations on the 500? Are these
Fiat or Faurecia innovations, or collaboration between
both companies?
In terms of true innovations for North America, Faurecia Interiors developed a brand new
high gloss paint line in Puebla for the body color interior trim panels that we previously only
had product manufacturing experience with in Europe. We also worked very closely with the
combined Fiat/Chrysler team by tailoring the Fiat 500 instrument panel and console original
European design to the North and South American markets. This included adding a new
glove box, passenger side airbag system and newly designed console features.
Were there any challenges that the team encountered
with the launch of the vehicle? If so, how did Faurecia
overcome them?
There were several challenges that the team encountered, both leading up to and during the
launch itself. Because of the short product development timing, many of our tools arrived
very late relative to the start of production to our home lines in Puebla and our supply base
respectively. This was very challenging because it gave us very little time to tweak and
tune our processes to ensure top quality and a proper level of production volume. Another,
and perhaps the largest challenge, was the launching of the new high gloss paint line and
developing the proper painting methodology for the 16 separate paint color variants required
by the customer. These challenges were eventually overcome by tapping into the global
resources available to Faurecia in terms of poles of competence, FES tools utilization, supplier
quality and thousands of man hours of dedicated professionals in Puebla, Auburn Hills and
other supporting sites.
How is it working with Chrysler and Fiat as they blend
their companies? On the 500, is there a clear distinction
between the two companies, or are they working together
as one unit?
Seeing how these two customer organizations came together and brought experiences and
individual expertise to the table was impressive. Making a vehicle that was developed for the
European market fit into the North and South American markets demanded that they blend
their respective visions and ideas together as one unit, without loosing its roots. Faurecia also
supplemented this with our contributions to the instrument panel and console developments.
I feel this fun yet well-executed small car will show consumers that the combination of Fiat,
Chrysler and Faurecia is a winning combination and will sell well once it hits the showrooms
in early 2011.

2012 Fiat 500
U.S. starts to show less
appetite for gasoline
Italian style blended with world-class craftsmanship
T
he new 2012 Fiat 500 represents a new approach to personal transportation, with its modern and simple design
aestethic, numerous personalization options, fashionable Italian flair and world-class craftsmanship.
“The Fiat 500 is an icon of efficient personal transportation,” said Doug Betts, Chrysler Group Senior
Vice President of Quality. “It is an excellent package to start with. As we enhanced it to match North American driving
conditions and consumer expectations, we also made sure to preserve the world-class fit-and-finish standards achieved
by Fiat’s development team.”
For the new 500, simple does not mean “bare.” The passenger compartment is airy and roomy, an environment
designed to be comfortable and enjoyable for any destination. “The interior design is space-efficient and stylish, while
delivering absolutely everything that is required and nothing more,” said Roberto Giolito, head of Fiat Style. “The interior
design perfectly balances practicality with comfort and convenience features while infusing Italian-by-design style and
personalization options.”
The instrument panel (IP) continues the perfect blend of modern simplicity with iconic Italian styling. The upper IP is
designed to convey a sense of refinement and elegance and features color-matched exterior accents for added detail.
Frequently used vehicle buttons are highlighted with chromed circular rings and centrally located. The lower IP highlights
new space utilization with large- and small-sized storage spaces.
Faurecia is a key supplier for the Fiat 500, including for the interior. The Puebla, Mexico Plant supplies the instrument
panel and center console. The FAS facilities in San Luis Potosi, Mexico and Bradford, Ontario supply the tracks and
recliners. And the complete exhaust system is produced at the FECT plant in Querétaro, Mexico.
After seven decades of mostly uninterrupted growth,
U.S. gasoline demand is at the start of a long-term
decline. By 2030, Americans will burn at least
20 percent less gasoline than today, experts say,
even as millions more cars clog the roads.
The country’s thirst for gasoline is shrinking as cars
and trucks become more fuel efficient, the government
mandates the use of more ethanol, and people drive
less. According to the National Resources Defense
Council, by 2020, improved fuel economy is expected
to lower annual carbon dioxide emissions by 400 billion
pounds, the equivalent of taking 32 million cars off the
road. In reality, there will be 27 million more cars on the
road — a total of 254 million — a decade from now,
according to government projections.

Automakers commit to
exporting to China
During the visit of Chinese President Hu Jintao to
the United States in January, General Motors and
Ford Motor Co. released details of plans for exporting
to China.
GM said it plans to export $900 million in vehicles
and parts to China under a two-year agreement signed
with its flagship joint venture, Shanghai GM. Exports
will be worth $500 million and components worth
$400 million under the agreement.
Ford signed an initial agreement to explore
the possibility of exporting vehicles to China, part
of a multi-billion dollar commercial pact. Ford, a
relative latecomer to China, has been accelerating
its expansion in the world’s largest auto market. It is
building a new car plant with its partners Chongqing
Changan Automobile Co. and Mazda Motor Corp., and,
at the same time, adding a $300 million new facility
jointly with partly-owned Jiangling Motor. During the
next four years, Ford intends to introduce 50 new
products and powertrains in Asia and Africa.

American cars are back at last
American carmakers earned higher scores in 2010
than imported cars in separate J.D. Power surveys
of initial quality and owner satisfaction. American
products, overall, are now at least neck-and-neck
with foreign competitors. “All three of the domestics
have improved quite a bit over the past few years in
initial quality, but Ford has been more consistent and
more notable,” said David Sargent, Vice President of
Automotive Research at J.D. Power & Associates.
In J.D. Power’s most recent APEAL survey, a
