European Hybrid and EV NVH Summit 2025

The European Hybrid and EV NVH Summit 2025 brings together OEMs, suppliers, material innovators, and simulation technology leaders to explore advanced strategies for NVH optimization in the next generation of electric vehicles. The event provides a platform to foster cross-sector collaboration and accelerate the deployment of quieter, more comfortable, and sustainable electric vehicles that meet both regulatory demands and consumer expectations in Europe’s evolving automotive landscape.

Christoph Sladeczek, head of Virtual Acoustics at Fraunhofer IDMT, will be giving a presentation on “Designing Interactive and Immersive In-Car Journeys with Object-based Audio” and demonstrating how object-based audio technology can be used to create new driving experiences.

Object-Based Audio: Utilizing advanced spatial audio technologies to create a three-dimensional sound experience, allowing sounds to originate from specific locations within the vehicle and interact with the environment.

Dynamic Soundscapes: Designing adaptive audio environments that respond in real-time to user interactions and vehicle movements, enhancing the sense of immersion for passengers.

User Engagement through Interaction: Implementing interactive elements that allow passengers to influence the audio experience, such as adjusting sound settings or selecting audio themes, fostering a deeper connection with the journey
