Despite a global recession, manufacturers of auto interiors keep driving forward. In February 2010, many auto interior innovators will be driving to the ims Automotive Interior Conference at the Royal Automobile Club in London, England. Topics being explored at the conference, sponsored by ims Automotive, include whether alternative vehicles need alternative interiors, the impacts of electric or hybrid vehicles on auto interior design, “green” auto interiors, linking state-of-the-art technology with a vehicle’s unique identity or style, and the effects of the recession on auto interiors.
