About Inovity 4500 Bidaiari-eserlekua

Inovity 4500 bidaia luzeetarako autobus eta minibusetarako diseinatutako bidaiari-eserleku bat da. Egitura modularrak gorputz bereiziak erabiltzen ditu bizkarralderako, eserlekurako eta xasiserako. Alboko gainazaletako lerro kurbatuek bolumen bisuala murrizten dute eta segurtasun-uhala errazago heltzeko modukoa egiten dute. Hiru puntuko segurtasun-uhala bidaiari bakoitzaren altuerara egokitzen da eskuzko doikuntzarik gabe. Haririk gabeko karga duen telefono-euskarri bat atzeko aldean kokatuta dago eta gailu-tamaina desberdinetara egokitzen da. A4 tamainako aldizkarietarako euskarri bat ere sartuta dago atzealdean.

Unique Properties: Inovity 4500 is designed to make journeys efficient and comfortable. Despite its strong design, the curved lines on side surfaces stop it from feeling bulky and enhancing its appearance while also making the seat belts easy to use. Wireless charging phone holders can charge your device without compromising your entertainment. While you enjoy the comfort and safety of our seats, our company continues advancing in sustainability and innovation, because we believe every journey is a personal stage
Dimensions & Packaging: It features a modular structure system with separate bodies for the backrest, seat, and chassis. The two-seat configuration has a total width of 990 mm, a depth of 765 mm, and a height of 1215 mm. It weighs 37 kg.

Production Technology: The design process began with hand sketches on paper and evolved into digital sketches. Then, 3D data was created in a CAD environment to bring the design to life. Some parts of the chair were produced using 3D printing and vacuum forming methods during the prototyping phase, resulting in the final design form.The chair is manufactured using mid-to-high-level production technologies. The foam is molded, while the metal parts are prepared using laser cutting and molds. These parts are assembled using both manual methods and robotic systems.
Design Challenge: The seat was primarily designed for the Turkish market, with strong export potential in mind. It not only meets today’s expectations for comfort and technology but, thanks to its innovative features, is also adaptable to future developments. Environmentally friendly raw materials were used to achieve a lightweight design and appearance. In line with the client company’s design language, this approach successfully combines form and function.
Research: At project start, thorough user and market research was done. Safety and comfort of seat belts were tested with participants in the 5th and 95th anthropometric percentiles. Various 3D-printed prototypes supported the design process. The height-adjustable seat belt, integrated with the backrest’s bend, resulted from this research. Ergonomic data guided the phone area placement, maintaining comfort even when the backrest position changed.
Inspiration: The symmetrical lines on the backrest cover reflect user comfort, while hourglass-like lines represent the continuity of time during travel from point A to point B. The fact that the seat is designed for long-distance travel has been a key factor in the use of these lines. The inspiration lies in the concept of time. Thus, rather than reinforcing the notion that "long journeys are exhausting and tedious," the design emphasizes a pleasant travel experience blending comfort and aesthetics.
Project Duration: The project was started in Bursa in October 2024. The first prototype will be exhibited at the Busworld Europe Brussels in October 2025. The finished product will be announced at the end of 2025.
Operation Flow: Inovity 4500 is a new generation travel companion that accompanies passengers on long journeys. Its 3-point seatbelt automatically adjusts to height, providing a safe experience for users of all sizes without requiring any adjustments. The phone holder located behind the seat, which features wireless charging and can be adjusted according to device size, ensures uninterrupted comfort throughout the journey. The magazine holder on the rear side can hold magazines in A4 size.
