Inteva Products Receives International Innovation Award for Structurally Integrated Panoramic Sliding Sunroof

TROY, Mich. -Tuesday, August 1st 2017 [ ME NewsWire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Inteva Products, LLC, a leading global Tier One automotive supplier of engineered components and systems, received its second consecutive innovation award in the annual Innovation Awards program sponsored by the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA). This year’s recognition was for Inteva’s structurally integrated panoramic sliding sunroof developed in cooperation with Daimler for the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.

The structurally integrated panoramic sliding sunroof is one of the largest mechanically operated sliding glass panels available globally. Traditionally, roofs have been manufactured as separate modules and considered one of a vehicle’s main subsystems. This roof is one of the first sunroofs ever to be structurally integrated with the vehicle. This approach allowed the automaker to offer one of the largest sunroofs in the industry while maintaining the structural integrity of the vehicle.

The 2017 CLEPA Innovation Awards, organized in cooperation with Deloitte, celebrate automotive excellence in the categories of Environment, Safety, Connectivity & Automation and Cooperation. Inteva and Daimler received the third-place award in the Cooperation category. This year, CLEPA received 56 applications from 31 companies for innovations introduced around the globe.
