Quiet, please!
Avoid disturbing noises inside the vehicle – thanks to narrow-textile solutions
The rule in automotive development is: the quieter a component works, the better. People inside a vehicle want to be able to hear each other, their music or maybe just the whirring of the car, but certainly no creaking or rattling – particularly in modern vehicles with alternative (and correspondingly quiet) drive systems in which even quiet noises can be heard.
Noise reduction inside the vehicle
Noise reduction: What can only be achieved in headphone technology by elaborate neutralisation of sound waves is much simpler – and more effective – in vehicle interiors. Since with JUMBO-Textil's textile components, a lot of noise can be avoided right from the outset: by using a tension band instead of a storage flap or an elastic cord instead of a tension spring ... There is no noise generated at all in areas where textile solutions are used instead of metal, plastic or rubber.
| Conventional components | Lighter and quieter textile solution |
|---|---|
| bowden cable | braided cord |
| tension spring | elastic cord |
| plastic cable holder | textile cable routing |
| release lever | release loop |
| plastic fixings | holding strap |
| storage tray | storage net |
| storage flap | tensioning strap / holding strap |
| solid rubber | elastic narrow textiles |
| spring-loaded retaining elements | narrow-textile components |
Lightweight
An additional advantage of textile materials – especially for climate-friendly vehicles of the future: their light weight. Our high-tech textiles are considerably lighter than conventional components. And if we combine them with other components, it is always with lightweight plastic or light metal components.
