E-Mobility
Above all, the e-mobility of tomorrow requires the HMI to be rethought and developed even further. KURZ strives to be a system solution partner and a source of ideas for the automotive industry, which is currently experiencing one of its greatest upheavals. Today, not only outstanding designs are required, but also integrated mobility concepts that can be efficiently and sustainably transferred to the vehicle. Rely on KURZ and its strong network of partners and subsidiaries if you want to help shape the mobility of tomorrow!
Fully exploiting surface potential
Wallbox surfaces can display far more than just the charge level - for example, operating instructions, the remaining range with the current charge level, or the electricity tariff currently in use. Or the distance to the next charging station. Access authorization can also be regulated via functional decorations. The design possibilities are endless. Shy tech design, backlighting, haptic surfaces, REACH-compliant metallization with chromium or indium - anything is possible.
RIM Design
The joint development of KURZ and the renowned rim manufacturer RONAL shows how rim inserts can not only become eye-catchers but also reduce energy consumption.
Wallbox
With their sustainable wallbox concept, KURZ, Covestro, and Sumitomo (SHI) Demag show how much design and technology potential lies in wallboxes. The central control panel is produced using the efficient IMD process with green electricity and CO2-neutral material and can be recycled again.
Lights on!
The new importance of light on and in the vehicle
Brand-defining lighting design will shape the roads of tomorrow. It’s all about light instead of sound. Individual lighting designs will replace the typical engine noise. Light will also support communication with other road users, such as lane changes, planned braking, or battery charge status. Light is also conceivable for car sharing purposes or as a tool for highlighting promotional inserts. It provides clarity and orientation on the user interfaces inside the vehicle. In addition, backlighting creates a pleasant and individual atmosphere for the driver.

Holistic thinking
Design meets functionality
The hallmark of true development partners: Stunning design, smart functionality, and efficient processes go hand in hand. The best example: The innovative front panel, for which KURZ was recognized with the German Design Award 2024 It not only makes a real brand statement visually but also impresses with its well-thought-out functionality. Intelligent lighting design enables communication with other road users. And it offers other emotive highlights that can be customized according to preference or model. For example, you can create individual color effects or play the tunes of your favorite band. Self-healing DECOPUR® surfaces give designs even more brilliance and depth effects. In combination with indium-based metallization, gloss, matte, or brushed looks are given very special highlights.
