Gasgoo Awards 2023 applicant: Yanfeng HoverSeat® from Yanfeng International Automotive Technology Co., Ltd.

Product: Yanfeng HoverSeat® 

Description

Yanfeng HoverSeat® is an innovative seating solution created by Yanfeng International for smart cabins. Yanfeng’s Seating Engineering Team used Yanfeng HoverTech® technology to design a high-tech Yanfeng HoverSeat® based on ergonomic principles and the physiological curve of the human body. In the zero gravity posture, the angle between the spine and the trunk is 126°, and the angle between the thigh and the calf is 126°. The contact area of the body increases by 23% compared to the normal sitting posture, and the pressure difference between the back and the seat cushion is reduced by 58%. Therefore, Yanfeng HoverSeat® can provide even and comfortable support, effectively alleviate the pressure state of the body's long-term contact parts, achieve even force on various parts of the body, and fully fit the body curve of users, efficiently releasing physical and mental pressure.  Yanfeng HoverSeat® combines the Power Long Rail, RTA, Recliner, and Adjuster to achieve a one-touch zero gravity posture. In terms of safety protection, Yanfeng HoverSeat® integrates ABTS and pre-safety technologies, which can provide all-around safety protection in the zero gravity posture. At the same time, Yanfeng HoverSeat® has more comfortable features, such as Independent Shoulder Adjustment, Smart Adaptive Headrest, and Seamless Extension Leg Rest. In the future, Yanfeng HoverSeat® can be further improved by combining Graphene Therapy Heating, Flexible Airbag Massage, and other comfortable functions to enhance the overall user experience. Yanfeng's R&D team has provided different versions of Yanfeng HoverSeat® solution for different in-car scene requirements, such as the Hover ECO version nap mode for the driver's seat, the Hover STD version premium mode for the co-driver's seat and the second-row independent seat, and the Hover Pro version for full position adjustment and protection.

Prospect

Automobiles are gradually evolving into a "third space" for mobile lifestyles, and intelligent connected vehicles are becoming the new main force in market consumption growth. With continuous exploration and practice of travel scenarios by consumers and the pain points of rapid social environments, automotive seats, as important components of smart cabins and the main interface of human-machine interaction (HMI), are also constantly innovating and upgrading. Based on Yanfeng's meticulous insight into users’ demands and continuous exploration of in-car scenarios, as well as deep thinking on the development direction of comfort, safety, and intelligence of automotive seats, Yanfeng HoverSeat® is one of the fist products that reflects Yanfeng's innovative and upgrading characteristics in this trend. Competitors and OEMs are also constantly exploring the zero-gravity seat, but these seats can only achieve a flat angle. These products have problems like against the waist, unable to fit and support the human body. However, Yanfeng's HoverTech® technology combines NASA zero gravity posture and research on ergonomic principles and the physiological curve of the human body to define the right zero gravity angle. With convenient and fast one-touch adjustment, it can switch to zero gravity posture and fully fit the body curve. Graphene heating + Multi-Position Ventilation + Flexible Airbag Massage + Smart Adaptive Headrest can alleviate the fatigue of drivers and passengers during long-distance travel, releasing physical and mental pressure and providing an extremely comfortable experience in motion. The zero-gravity seat is not only the key to improving driving comfort but also how to ensure safety in the event of an accident. Yanfeng HoverSeat® integrates ABTS and pre-safety technologies to provide all-round safety protection in zero gravity posture. The Intelligence Retractor recognizes the comfortable angle and provides comprehensive safety assurance optimization solutions including zero gravity posture; the Long Rail, Swivel Mechanism, and Smart Flat Folding Seat allow for a Multi-Mode Layout of the vehicle seating space, providing an immersive entertainment interactive experience with the 4D Sound Effect Headrest and dynamic ambient lighting.  Yanfeng is actively promoting the trend of intelligent connected vehicles and predicting and redefining the future of in-car life and work. Yanfeng HoverSeat® is creating a mobile living space that perfectly integrates comfort, safety, and intelligence, providing consumers with a user cabin experience that meets both functional and emotional needs. In the future, Yanfeng will further explore user pain points and continue to optimize the comfort, safety, and intelligence of the cabin driving experience with innovative ideas. Together with all customers, Yanfeng will deeply explore core customer needs and continue to provide users with products of excellent quality, leading innovative technology and performance, creating a "personalized zero-gravity experience" for every user.
