DSM and Hyundai Transys develop powered swivel seat for Genesis GV90
DSM and Hyundai Transys jointly developed a powered swivel-seat mechanism for the Genesis GV90, a future flagship SUV from Genesis.
The companies worked together for about four years to address seat-belt strength in a crash and motor noise and looseness.
The powered seat can turn to help occupants arrange the vehicle’s interior to suit their needs.
DSM is also redesigning supercapacitors, which can charge quickly and provide high power for short periods.
It is targeting uses such as stabilising power at AI data centres and supplying high-power drones.
The company plans to seek commercial use after performance testing, but no launch date or test results were given.
DSM and Hyundai Transys jointly developed a powered swivel-seat mechanism for the Genesis GV90, a next-generation flagship SUV.
The companies worked on the mechanism for about four years, DSM said on November 2, 2026.
The design addresses the strength of a seat-integrated seat-belt structure in a collision and controls noise and play in the swivel motor.
The powered seat is intended to let occupants configure the vehicle interior more flexibly.
DSM is also refining supercapacitor designs for applications requiring brief bursts of high power.
