CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026: FORVIA showcases innovations for the construction and mining industries

• World premiere: Ergonomic seating solutions for off-highway vehicles
• Smart Link Concept: Digital connectivity for greater efficiency and safety
• Sustainable, magnet-free sensor solutions: Precision and technology without rare earths

Lippstadt, 18 February 2026. FORVIA, a global automotive and mobility technology leader combining the expertise of FORVIA Faurecia and FORVIA HELLA, will present a comprehensive technology portfolio tailored to the specific requirements of construction and mining applications at CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas from March 3 to 7, 2026 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth N12824). For the first time, customers of the construction and mining industry will experience the combined innovative strength of the FORVIA portfolio – from smart lighting and electronic solutions to ergonomic seating systems.

Ergonomic seating solutions for off-highway vehicles

FORVIA is unveiling seating systems designed specifically for off-highway vehicles as a world premiere. The company has been a global market leader in seating solutions for over 110 years and draws on extensive expertise in safety- and comfort-oriented design. “We’re very excited to make our CONEXPO debut and to bring our seating solutions to the construction machinery markets. By expanding our portfolio to include seating solutions for industrial vehicles, we are bringing manufacturers the full strength of our seating expertise -, and new opportunities to optimize the safety, comfort and ergonomics of their machines,” explains Christian Beer, Sales and programs Vice President at FORVIA Faurecia Seating.

Smart Link Concept: Connected solutions for modern machines

With the Smart Link Concept, FORVIA HELLA presents a modular platform that intelligently connects lighting and electronic components. “The system simplifies vehicle architecture and enables the integration of future technologies”, says Dr. Fabian Utermöhlen, Vice President Sales & Marketing in the Business Group Lifecycle Solutions. Through the precise interplay of sensors, cameras, work lights, and signal lights, the system improves safety, increases efficiency in complex workflows, and helps reduce downtime.

Sustainable, magnet-free sensor solutions: Precision and technology without rare earths

FORVIA HELLA is setting new standards in sensing with the Universal Angular Sensor (UAS), which uses inductive CIPOS technology. CIPOS itself—short for Contactless Inductive Position Sensor—operates entirely without magnetic components or rare earths and is particularly resistant to external magnetic fields. CIPOS technology enables extremely precise and reliable position measurements and is therefore used in a wide range of applications, such as in pedal sensors designed specifically for commercial vehicles, which will be presented for the first time at the trade show.

FORVIA HELLA will also demonstrate live how radar sensors enhance safety around work vehicles and present thermal management components such as the Media Pump MPx and the eVA Electronic Valve Actuator designed specifically for electric off-highway vehicles.

Press conference: Media are invited to attend FORVIA’s press conference on March 4 at 2:00 P.M. local time at FORVIA’s booth N12824.
