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

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 strap 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.

Lightweight

An additional advantage of textile materials – especially for climate-friendly vehicles of the future: their light weight. High-tech textiles are considerably lighter than conventional components. And if they are combined with other components, then just with components made of lightweight plastic or light metal.

Sales Director Automotive of Jumbo-Textil, Werner Thiex:

“Our high-tech textiles fulfil numerous functions in the vehicles of major brands. They clamp, they hold, they fix, they secure. Sometimes standard, sometimes optional, but always reliable, quiet and lightweight.”
