The company will unveil the next generation, Heat Belt 2.0, at the IAA Mobility in Munich (Hall A1, Stand D30), from September 9 to 12, 2025. A newly developed algorithm and an optional in-house Electronic Control Unit (ECU) make the Heat Belt 2.0 a comfortable surface heating system that adapts its heat output quickly and pleasantly. The Heat Belt 2.0's low energy consumption positively affects the range of battery-powered vehicles by up to 6 percent, especially in the heat-up phase of the passenger compartment.\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Anyone who gets into a vehicle on a frosty morning knows the scenario: the interior is uncomfortably cold, it warms up only slowly despite the vehicle heating being turned up high, and it takes a long time to reach a comfortable temperature. With the new Heat Belt 2.0, ZF LIFETEC now offers a further developed belt solution that specifically addresses this winter issue. “With the Heat Belt 2.0, we have engineered a forward-thinking solution for winter operation that is comfortable, safe and energy-efficient,” explains Harald Lutz, ZF LIFETEC. “The integration into existing vehicle architectures makes the system attractive for manufacturers who put an emphasis on efficient thermal management solutions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Adaptive thermal comfort – close to the body\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>The Heat Belt 2.0 enhances existing surface heating systems, such as seat or steering wheel heating, and provides a comfortable temperature in the upper body area without drafts or fan noise. Thanks to the low mass of the belt, the feeling of warmth sets in within moments. After it heats up, the occupant can enjoy a continuous cozy feeling thanks to the automatic adaption of the belt’s heating power. Despite its integrated technology, the belt itself is only 1.3 millimeters thick and contains four finely woven heating wires over a heating field length covering the pelvis and chest of the occupant. The maximum heating output is 60 watts, with an average output of around 20 watts. This allows the belt to reach a temperature of 40°C from -5°C in less than two minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Intelligent control thanks to patented thermal model\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>At the heart of the system is a patented algorithm based on a thermal model. This calculates the optimum heating output, considering the occupant’s core body temperature of around 37 °C, skin temperature (32–34 °C), the outside and cabin temperature, and the amount of sunlight detected by vehicle sensors. The data from the automatic climate control (HVAC) is also included in the temperature calculation – so, unlike the previous version, a temperature sensor is no longer required in the belt webbing. A major advantage for vehicle occupants is that the heating output is regulated automatically, eliminating the need for frequent manual adjustment. The belt adapts discreetly and intelligently to the situation at hand, ensuring maximum comfort with minimal effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Energy efficiency for vehicle system\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>Using the Heat Belt 2.0 in the cold season with other close-contact heating devices allows new thermal management concepts to address the need for energy saving, especially for battery-powered vehicles.\u003Cbr>By targeting the body with warmth directly, the interior temperature in vehicles can be reduced by approx. 3 °C. While providing the same comfort experience for the occupant, energy savings result from a reduced heat loss to the environment and reduced energy to heat up the interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In a short trip scenario, e.g. when shop hopping, heating up the interior of a vehicle can dominate and require the maximum heating power of the HVAC to reach a comfortable cabin temperature within 10 to 20 minutes. With close contact heating, the occupant achieves quick comfort while the heating power of the HVAC can be reduced by up to 1000 W for typical vehicles. Considering the effects of the previously mentioned surface heating systems, the Heat Belt 2.0 can increase the range of electric vehicles by up to 6 percent. It also enables the use of smaller HVAC systems. Even for longer trips exceeding one hour, savings of around 200 W can be achieved, because the HVAC only needs to compensate for the reduced heat-loss to the environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>More safety through comfort\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>The Heat Belt 2.0 is designed to seamlessly integrate into a variety of vehicle models, spanning all segments from small cars to luxury models. For vehicles with a proximity sensor, the system can be combined with a function that activates preheating as soon as the vehicle is approached, providing a real wow factor for users. The pleasant warmth can also motivate occupants to fasten their seat belts correctly and dispense with thick winter clothing – which can improve crash safety, thus also making an active contribution to more safety in the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":155,"CSSClasses":156,"CSSID":16,"CSS":16,"RemoveContainer":16,"DarkTheme":16,"GreyTheme":16,"HideSection":16,"DisableAnimation":16},11742,"text-center

ZF has developed a heated seat belt option for electric vehicles. This technology allows drivers to reduce the energy used to heat the vehicle — especially in combination with other contact heaters such as a seat heater. During cold weather, the system may increase range by up to 15 percent by reducing the energy required to heat the interior of the vehicle. The ZF heated seat belt is based on a special webbing with integrated heating conductors that minimally increase the thickness of the webbing. This makes integration easier for vehicle manufacturers and offers occupants the same comfort as normal seat belt webbing. The heated belt is designed to provide occupants with a uniform feeling of warmth close to the body.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":367,"CSSClasses":94,"CSSID":16,"CSS":16,"RemoveContainer":16,"DarkTheme":16,"GreyTheme":16,"HideSection":16,"DisableAnimation":16},11736,{"id":369,"InitialCSS":16,"InitialCSSPortrait":16,"AltText":370,"AllowSyncPoster":16,"VideoCaption":16,"Video":371,"Poster":372,"ElementSettings":16,"VideoSubtitle":406},478,"Thermal camera displaying heat map of vehicle interior",{"data":16},{"data":373},{"id":374,"documentId":375,"attributes":376},903,"sr3kml6l88cyheh6pozuiex2",{"name":377,"alternativeText":16,"caption":16,"width":378,"height":379,"formats":380,"hash":402,"ext":109,"mime":112,"size":403,"url":404,"previewUrl":16,"provider":25,"provider_metadata":16,"createdAt":405,"updatedAt":405,"publishedAt":29,"focalPoint":16},"1_ZF_Heat_Belt.jpg",4000,2668,{"large":381,"small":386,"medium":392,"thumbnail":397},{"ext":109,"url":382,"hash":383,"mime":112,"name":384,"path":16,"size":385,"width":115,"height":195},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.zf-lifetec.com\u002Fuploads\u002Flarge_1_ZF_Heat_Belt_733f7fe86a.jpg","large_1_ZF_Heat_Belt_733f7fe86a","large_1_ZF_Heat_Belt.jpg",79.33,{"ext":109,"url":387,"hash":388,"mime":112,"name":389,"path":16,"size":390,"width":123,"height":391},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.zf-lifetec.com\u002Fuploads\u002Fsmall_1_ZF_Heat_Belt_733f7fe86a.jpg","small_1_ZF_Heat_Belt_733f7fe86a","small_1_ZF_Heat_Belt.jpg",28.11,334,{"ext":109,"url":393,"hash":394,"mime":112,"name":395,"path":16,"size":396,"width":131,"height":123},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.zf-lifetec.com\u002Fuploads\u002Fmedium_1_ZF_Heat_Belt_733f7fe86a.jpg","medium_1_ZF_Heat_Belt_733f7fe86a","medium_1_ZF_Heat_Belt.jpg",50.61,{"ext":109,"url":398,"hash":399,"mime":112,"name":400,"path":16,"size":401,"width":215,"height":140},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.zf-lifetec.com\u002Fuploads\u002Fthumbnail_1_ZF_Heat_Belt_733f7fe86a.jpg","thumbnail_1_ZF_Heat_Belt_733f7fe86a","thumbnail_1_ZF_Heat_Belt.jpg",9.17,"1_ZF_Heat_Belt_733f7fe86a",1520.7,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.zf-lifetec.com\u002Fuploads\u002F1_ZF_Heat_Belt_733f7fe86a.jpg","2024-08-26T06:20:35.692Z",{"data":16},{"id":408,"SubTitle":16,"Title":16,"Content":409,"HeadingLevel":16,"ButtonItems":16,"ElementSettings":410},3663,"\u003Cp>With this integrated heating function, ZF’s new heated seat belt can provide close-to-body warmth immediately after the driver starts driving, typically between 36 and 40 degrees Celsius.

However, with increasing vehicle automation and rising comfort expectations, strongly reclined seating positions are becoming more important. These positions alter occupant motion during a crash and create new requirements for restraint systems. “Comfort seating positions fundamentally change occupant biomechanics in a crash. Our holistic protection concept addresses these changes directly. With intelligently networked airbags, we stabilize occupant motion and specifically reduce the risk of submarining in the unlikely event of an accident,” says Harald Lutz, Senior Vice President Engineering at ZF LIFETEC.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Holistic Protection for Comfort Positions\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A key role in preventing submarining is played by the \u003Cstrong>Seat Ramp Airbag\u003C\u002Fstrong>, integrated beneath the seat cushion. In the event of a crash, it limits pelvis forward travel, effectively reducing the likelihood of the occupant sliding under the seatbelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The \u003Cstrong>Dual Contour Knee Airbag\u003C\u002Fstrong>, positioned in front of the knees, deploys almost simultaneously and guides the knees and thighs to stabilize occupant position. Its deployment volume adapts to seat position and seatback angle – smaller in standard seating, significantly larger in comfort or relaxed positions. This additional support helps control pelvis positioning and enhances the effectiveness of the front airbag.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The \u003Cstrong>Active Heel Airbag\u003C\u002Fstrong>, located in the footwell, improves foot coupling to the vehicle floor, especially at greater distances in comfort or relaxed seating. It provides a stable support point for the heels and prevents the legs from sliding forward or upward in a crash. As a result, knee positioning is stabilized, the risk of submarining is reduced, and the likelihood of foot and ankle injuries, such as impacts with pedal structures, is minimized.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The \u003Cstrong>Dual Contour Airbag\u003C\u002Fstrong>, integrated into the steering wheel and instrument panel for driver and passenger, adapts its volume to the upper body position. At larger distances, such as in comfort seating positions, it deploys with greater volume to ensure optimized energy absorption and support, improving protection for the head and upper body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Together, these four airbags address a wide range of injury mechanisms, from pelvis instability and leg guidance to head and upper body loads. As part of a holistic occupant protection concept, they are complemented by adaptive seatbelt systems, enabling coordinated protection performance, particularly in comfort and relaxed seating positions. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Adaptive Safety Through Intelligent Sensor Technology\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Deployment and control of the airbag systems can be managed by a smart safety algorithm using camera-based occupant sensing, seatbelt webbing extraction sensor, seat angle detection, seat adjustment data, or a comfort mode switch – depending on availability and vehicle specific use case definition. This enables an adaptive airbag deployment strategy for both driver and passenger.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>“Submarining”: When Comfort Seating Changes Everything\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In upright seating positions, the seatbelt fits closely to the upper body and pelvis. In a crash, the pyrotechnic belt pretensioner tightens the slack in the lap belt. At the same time, the retractor locks the belt, preventing further payout. This ensures controlled restraint of the upper body. In a frontal crash, the occupant is then transferred in a controlled manner to the front and knee airbags.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In comfort seating positions, the seatback is significantly reclined and the legs are extended into the footwell. In an accident, both force distribution and occupant motion change significantly. The seatbelt often no longer fits optimally across the chest and pelvis. Reduced fixation of the pelvic bone increases the risk of abdominal and pelvic injuries, as the belt may slide into the abdominal area.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, airbag effectiveness is delayed because the upper body and head are positioned farther away from the airbag modules and make contact later.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The lack of stable foot support on the vehicle floor additionally increases the likelihood of uncontrolled leg movement, raising the risk of knee and ankle injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To address these biomechanical challenges, ZF LIFETEC has developed advanced safety systems, which enable improved occupant protection even in comfort seating positions –including the Seat Ramp Airbag, Active Heel Airbag, Dual Contour Knee Airbag, and Dual Contour Airbags for driver and passenger.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Presentation at AIRBAG 2026\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The occupant protection concept, comprising the Dual Contour Airbag for driver and passenger, Seat Ramp Airbag, Dual Contour Knee Airbag, and Active Heel Airbag, is part of the innovation portfolio that ZF LIFETEC will present at AIRBAG 2026 (December 8–10, 2026 in Mannheim, Germany).

The so-called “Infrared Belt” enables interior cameras to reliably verify that the seat belt is being worn correctly. This solution helps vehicle manufacturers meet current and future safety requirements of independent vehicle safety rating organizations like NCAP. Series production is already scheduled to start in August 2026.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“At ZF LIFETEC, we have relied for years on the targeted interaction between our safety products and in-cabin cameras,” said Harald Lutz, Senior Vice President Research & Development at ZF LIFETEC. \u003Cbr>“The significant role that in-cabin cameras already play in mobility is highlighted by the EU requirement, which came into force on July 7, 2026, mandating in-cabin camera-based fatigue and distraction detection in new vehicles to monitor driver attention,” Lutz added. However, it is not only the European Union that is placing increasing importance on reliable camera-based occupant detection. Euro NCAP is also giving greater emphasis to this technology, with the reliable detection of correct seat belt positioning being one of its key focus areas. This is exactly where ZF LIFETEC’s new “Infrared Belt” comes into play. The seat belt is one of the most important restraint systems in a vehicle and can only provide its full protective effect when worn correctly. With an infrared seat belt webbing specifically developed for camera-based occupant detection, ZF LIFETEC enables vehicle manufacturers to reliably determine whether the seat belt is positioned correctly. “Our new seat belt enables infrared cameras to more accurately identify whether an occupant is optimally protected. By doing so, we create the foundation for higher-quality occupant detection and significantly enhance safety for drivers, front passengers, and rear-seat occupants alike,” said Lutz.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clear visibility for interior cameras\u003Cbr>The new “Infrared Belt” from ZF LIFETEC is based on a targeted material design of the fabric. This involves combining different yarns which have specific spectral properties. They produce an integrated infrared signature that camera-based systems can clearly interpret. Cameras operating in this optical spectrum detect differences in the reflection and absorption of materials. Based on this physical principle, the seat belt stands out clearly from clothing, skin, or seat surfaces, regardless of lighting conditions inside the vehicle. The result is a stable, high-contrast signal that makes it possible to precisely determine the belt’s position. Series production is scheduled to begin in August 2026 – for all seating positions, including the rear seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>Reliable detection independent of light and environment\u003Cbr>Infrared cameras can track the path of the seat belt along the body (seat belt position). Based on this information, automakers can use intelligent detection algorithms to determine whether the seat belt is correctly routed over the shoulder or, for example, runs under the arm or behind the occupant’s back. Compared to traditional sensor systems, this approach therefore offers clear advantages: Seat belt buckle sensors, for example, only detect whether a seat belt is fastened – but provide no information about its actual protective effect. Only the combination of infrared sensors and an optimized seat belt fabric make it possible to clearly assess the actual seat belt position. The solution also proves to be more robust than conventional RGB cameras. Optical reflections or backgrounds of identical colors can hinder the detection of the belt’s path. Infrared-based detection, on the other hand, relies on clearly defined physical material properties, allowing the belt to be reliably identified regardless of clothing, lighting, or the environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>EU Requirement for In-Cabin Cameras in New Vehicles from July 7, 2026\u003Cbr>EU Regulation 2023\u002F4523 establishes camera-based fatigue and distraction detection as a key building block of modern vehicle safety. These systems detect when drivers divert their attention from the road for too long and provide timely warnings in critical situations. Their purpose is to help reduce distraction-related accidents and improve safety for all road users. Since July 7, 2026, such systems have been mandatory for all newly approved vehicle types in the European Union. The regulation underscores the growing importance of intelligent camera technologies for the future of road safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Actual protective performance of seat belts: Euro NCAP targets for 2030\u003Cbr>Within Vision 2030, Euro NCAP is consistently focusing vehicle safety assessments on real-life safety performance. The emphasis lies on a holistic view of safety, and the question of how effectively restraint systems perform under real-world conditions. \u003Cbr>To answer this, Euro NCAP requires vehicles to detect occupants and assess whether they are optimally protected in the event of an accident. Regarding seat belts, it is no longer sufficient for a vehicle to detect whether the tongue plate is inserted into the buckle. The system must also reliably evaluate whether occupants are wearing the belt correctly so that it can deliver its protective effect. As a result, camera-based interior monitoring systems are becoming increasingly important. They enable the reliable detection of seat belt misuse and provide this information to vehicle safety systems. In addition, Euro NCAP requires that detected seat belt misuse be communicated through appropriate audiovisual warnings in order to prompt occupants to wear the seat belt correctly. Looking ahead, further enhancements of occupant monitoring requirements are expected as part of Euro NCAP's Vision 2030 roadmap.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>50 years of mandatory seat belt use in Germany – 65 Years of Passive Safety \u003Cbr>at ZF LIFETEC\u003Cbr>The introduction of mandatory seat belt use in Germany in January 1976 was a milestone in vehicle safety. For 65 years, ZF LIFETEC has played a key role in shaping the development of modern seat belt systems. As early as 1967 – just six years after the company was founded – the company, then operating under the name REPA, began mass-producing static seat belts, thereby laying the foundation for decades of continuous pioneering work in occupant protection. Today, the seat belt is at the heart of networked safety architectures that intelligently integrate mechanics, sensor technology, and software. At the same time, the seat belt is an integral component of modern passive safety systems. Adaptive sensor technology and real-time data fusion now ensure that seat belt, airbag, and steering wheel systems only achieve their full protective effect when working together to provide occupants with the best possible protection in the event of an accident. With the “Infrared Belt”, ZF LIFETEC takes the seat belt to a new level of development – transforming it into an active element that allows the actual protective effect to be precisely detected.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Presentation at AIRBAG 2026\u003Cbr>The new infrared seatbelt webbing for the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers is part of the product portfolio that ZF LIFETEC will present at AIRBAG 2026 (December 8 –10, 2026, in Mannheim).
