Heated Steering Wheel System

This heated steering-wheel system makes use of reaction-injection molded PUR and a unique sprayed-on, silver-impregnated coating-based heating element, which was developed especially for this application.  Heating is achieved by the silver-based specialty coating rather than traditionally wrapped / sewn-in heating wire.  Not only does the new system reduce weight by 50% (100 g) and reduce tooling and assembly steps, but it also leads to a 5% direct cost savings.  In addition, it reduces risks of fire (since the unit operates below 80C), produces more soothing, deep-penetrating far-infrared heat, and also provides antibacterial properties.
