Looking forward toward increased sustainability, manufacturers are focusing on preserving the lifespan of vehicle seats while reducing weight and adding features to increase flexibility and safety.

Whether it’s reducing seat weight or working with designers for new fabric options, seating manufacturers are finding ways to stand out, through the use of new materials and technologies.

The latest upgrades focus on providing two-point and three-point seat belt updates, electronic amenity conveniences and improved passenger-safety designs.

The North American carrier recently added advanced seating technology, which combines three-point lap-and-shoulder belts with compartmentalization, further enhancing the safety of their Northeastern fleets.
