7 Autonomous & Electric Vehicle Growth Projections 33 million autonomous vehicles sales by 2040 (Source: IHS Market) Americas EMEA APAC By 2040, 86% (87.9M) of new car sales will be electric vehicles Virtually every manufacturer is racing to develop their version of autonomous and electric vehicles 7

8 Evolution of Automotive & Residential Flooring Automotive Flooring Durable- Wood Grain Wood Floor Residential Flooring Wood Wool Carpet Needled Polyester Vinyl Floor Type 6 Nylon Type 6,6 Nylon PET Type 6,6 Nylon Type 6 Nylon Durable - Wood Wood Look 8

9 As the automobile continues to evolve, interior floor systems will change in step. Flooring solutions for the autonomous vehicle of the future will need to fulfill the need for: Durability (Durable Surfaces) Styling (Wood Grain, Textured Carpet, Detailed Patterns and Designs) Functional Performance (Heating/Cooling, Lighting, Storage) This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC Thermal & Acoustic Management (Noise, Vibration, Thermal Management that Minimizes HVAC Energy Requirements) 9

10 Durable Flooring for Ride Share and Autonomous Acura NSX from $156, units in 2017 Acura introduces a carbon fiber floor 10

11 Durable Flooring for Ride Share and Autonomous Carbon fiber floor in a $55,900 Vehicle Alfa Romeo 4C from 406 units in 2017 Alfa Romeo introduces carbon fiber floor & trim 11

12 Durable Flooring for Ride Share and Autonomous Carbon Fiber, Wood Grain, Camo, Imagine the styling opportunities! Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 Wood Flooring Vehicle of the Future 12

13 Durable Flooring for Ride Share and Autonomous Auria Armorlite EV Vehicle Install Typical Wear / Durability Properties Construction Taber Wear Rating Patterns include wood grain, carbon fiber and many others Non-Woven 1,500 cycles Tufted 2,000 cycles Printed TPO 4,000 cycles Armorlite 15,000 cycles Good Better Better Best 13

14 Styling: Auria Solutions can produce a version of all the following Tufted, Nonwoven, Grained TPO, Ribs & Texture, Printed Surfaces 14

15 Functional Performance Flooring Will autonomous vehicles have a traditional instrument panel? Will the IP be designed into a flat surface to maximize interion space? Does the current tunnel become a totally flat floor surface? Will autonomous vehicles of the future have a center console? 15

16 New designs could drive the need for increased function Lighting through the floor carpet fibers Lighting through the carpet fibers Rigid / Load Bearing /Light Weight Rigid light weight structures for storage applications Integrated heating / cooling Integrated air flow channels to provide hot or cold air through a porous floor system This CC BY-SA 16

17 Thermal and acoustical management will require a layered solution that optimizes cost weight - performance Lighter Quieter Lower Cost are always the goal. Lighter = Improved energy efficiency Quieter = Better driving experience Lower Cost = Affordability and sales A well engineered solution can provide both acoustic and thermal insulation, especially in the passenger compartment 17

18 There are different ways to manage noise in a vehicle Sound Absorption (Absorption Coefficient) Think about carpeting a hardwood floor in your house Commonly Called: Absorptive System or Dissipative System Sound Blocking (Sound Transmission Loss) Think about building a wall in your house or having a separate media room Commonly Called: Barrier System or Mass-Spring System Thermal Management materials can also serve as Sound Absorbers and Sound Blockers 18

19 There are different approaches to managing noise in a vehicle 19

20 Engineered acoustic and thermal solutions will use a multi-layer multi-material approach Vertically lapped fiber decoupler Fiber insulator with an integrated stiffener on the bottom Fiber insulator with an integrated heat shield on the bottom 20

21 Autonomous vehicles will continue to require a balanced approach that maximizes value Styling Durable Flooring Cost Acoustic & Thermal Weight Performance Functional Performance 21
