Concept Cars

The needs and desires of the driver form the basis for our vision and our products. Johnson Controls conducts extensive consumer research to find out what people expect from an automotive interior.

Based on these consumer studies, our designers and product engineers develop new concepts and innovative products, with loving attention to detail while not losing view of the whole picture. This is how Johnson Controls creates integrated interior solutions that not only fulfill the expectations of drivers, but can also be seamlessly integrated into the individual brand philosophy of our customers in the automobile industry.

Johnson Controls provides a visualization of its forward-looking integrated interior approach by means of concept cars. These car interiors unite visionary interior concepts with perfectly harmonized components that not only fulfill their intended purpose but together transform the car into a mobile home-away-from-home, providing the highest standards in safety, comfort and aesthetic appeal.
