An instrument panel is an assembly that consists of a structure, substrate, and the optional assembly of the glove box, AC ducts, demisters (with associated ducts) and registers. Visteon''s Instrument Panel is a finished integrated assembly that provides additional value to the customer by offering flexible and cost-efficient solutions, such as variable air speed ventilation and electronic glove box actuation. Visteon''s Instrument Panel can incorporate a variety of technologies (materials and processes) to create cost-efficient product differentiation. As an example, Visteon is able to develop a basic instrument panel infrastructure (structure, ducting, electronics, etc.) and deliver differentiation across platforms by applying one substrate for a lower-end segment and another for higher-end segments; or by applying different grain/texture Visteon can create a specific look/feel to bring about differentiation.
