New approaches are presented to deal with the challenge of how to keep a car clean and healthy for the user as long as possible. A particular point is made of observing the real consequences of use and the actual perception of customers in order to define more relevant test methods, requirements and guidelines. The challenge then is to find innovative solutions with real added value for customers at a reasonable price. The approach described above has improved the ability to measure and quote scratch resistance, soiling tendency and cleanability an all interior trim parts and rapidly and reliably access initial evaluations of some innovative solutions. To be implemented in the vehicles, these innovations must bring a real added value that the customers can perceive at first glance and are ready to pay for. In other words, the cleanability or sustainability performances of those innovations must be really differentiating. Concerning cleanability aspects, a very important preliminary step is adapting the architecture of the Cockpit for an easy, simple and efficient cleaning. The aim is to have no unreachable corner or dust nest (under seats, dashboard assemblies, air conditioning system). A higher, global perceived quality can thus be obtained with a design which is not necessarily more expensive. A further added value can be found in novel usage of materials, which could bring a freshness and revival to the interiors as expected by customers. A robust approach for a reliable predictive evaluation, as presented here, is the key to quickly and confidently introducing such new applications.
