Cabin Comfort

With a extensive range of expertise and capabilities, we provide a holistic approach to Cabin Comfort.

We support you at all stages of your product's development and evolution.

Redefined cabin comfort for the ultimate driving experience

By combining physical testing with sophisticated algorithms, we enhance vehicle performance and ensure passenger comfort.

Our engineers apply the leading techniques to meticulously design HVAC systems, using the latest CAE to ensure thermal, airflow and NVH targets are exceeded. Technology such as synchronised mood lighting and fragrance dispensers further enhance the user experience, creating a seamless fusion of innovation and comfort.

From concept to vehicle study to production-ready product. Shape the future of mobility with RLE! We support you with:

Thermal Comfort Assurance
HVAC system sizing and development
Integration of complementary interior technologies
Field trials / road test reports

Occupant thermal comfort is the traditional requirement demanded from the HVAC system. However, in today’s automobile this feature has evolved and also includes occupant well-being as a necessary attribute. Whilst it is essential that the cabin temperature is fully controlled and that each occupant is comfortable; it is also required that HVAC system is integral in reducing cabin contamination and promoting occupant wellbeing.
