Product
Integrated Seating Systems
Forvia’s Integrated Seating Systems deliver modular, safety-focused seats for ICE and EVs, driving €1.2bn seating revenue in 2024 and targeting 6% CAGR to 2027.
By late 2025 seats include haptic feedback and wellness sensors in frames to aid autonomous handover; pilots with OEMs reduced driver intervention by 28% in 2024 trials.
Lightweight engineering cuts seat mass by 15–25%, extending EV range by ~3–5 km per 100 kg saved and lowering lifecycle CO2 for automakers.
Sustainable Interior Modules
The interiors division makes dashboards, center consoles, and door panels from bio-sourced and recycled materials under MATERI'ACT, reaching a 35% average recycled-content rate by 2024 and aiming 50% by 2030; components are engineered for circularity with standardized clips and polymer IDs to ease disassembly and recycling at end-of-life. The line adds smart surfaces and hidden-until-lit tech for a minimalist, functional cabin while targeting a 5–7% price premium versus conventional trims.
Clean Mobility and Hydrogen Solutions
Forvia, a global leader in exhaust systems, expanded into high-pressure hydrogen storage and fuel-cell components in 2024, targeting heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles where BEVs falter; hydrogen truck market projected to reach 60,000 units by 2030 in Europe per Hydrogen Europe.
Automotive Electronics and Lighting
Forvia leverages the Hella brand to sell high-resolution digital headlamps and full-width rear light strips, contributing to Hella revenues of about €2.5bn in 2024 within Forvia’s optics and lighting cluster.
The electronics unit supplies sensors, automated-driving software, and energy-management for EV powertrains, supporting Forvia’s 2024 R&D spend of €1.1bn and its push into software-defined vehicle (SDV) platforms.
These modules are essential to SDV architectures, which industry reports show were standard across 60–70% of new EVs by end-2025, boosting Forvia content-per-vehicle and recurring software revenue.
- Hella lighting sales ~€2.5bn (2024)
- Forvia R&D €1.1bn (2024)
- SDV adoption 60–70% of new EVs by end-2025

Place
Global Industrial Footprint
Forvia runs over 290 industrial sites across Europe, North America and Asia, placing plants near major auto hubs to cut logistics spend and speed delivery; in 2024 Forvia reported 15% lower transport costs versus a centralized model in internal estimates.
Local production of bulky parts like seats and dashboards trims CO2 from freight — Forvia stated a 12% emissions reduction in 2023 vs 2019 baseline — and limits disruption risk by diversifying suppliers across regions.
Strategic Expansion in China
Forvia has ramped China operations to support local EV leaders and 40+ JV partners, targeting a 20% revenue mix from Greater China by 2025; China already accounted for ~18% of group sales in 2024 (€1.1bn of €6.1bn).
Just-in-Time Delivery Logistics
Forvia uses just-in-time and just-in-sequence delivery for OEMs, reducing inventory days to about 2–4 days versus industry averages of 12–20 days; this cuts working capital needs and supports €5.6bn 2024 sales (Forvia consolidated).
Global R and D Network
With 76 R and D centers worldwide, Forvia places teams in tech hubs like Silicon Valley, Germany, and France to co-develop mobility tech with startups, OEMs, and universities.
These centers generated 420+ patent families by 2024 and supported €1.2 billion in annual R&D spend, underpinning proprietary ADAS, electrification, and software offerings.
- 76 R and D centers
- 420+ patent families (2024)

Hella partners wholesalers and retailers to supply replacement parts, lighting, and diagnostic tools across 100+ countries, stabilizing cash flow versus OEM cycles.
- 2024 aftermarket sales ~€1.1bn
- Presence in 100+ countries
