Of course, its functional tasks - the reliable unlocking of the lock - are the primary requirements placed on the door handle of an automobile.
Nevertheless, we see it as an emotional element of the vehicle, as it is through it that the driver first comes into contact with their car. The quiet, smooth extension of the previously lowered handle, as well as subtle lighting effects, welcome the driver and give a foretaste of the driving experience to come.
In addition to the comfort features of the door handles, we naturally attach no less importance to the functionality of our door handles. For example, the lock release is assisted by an electric motor and is therefore much "smoother" than with purely manual opening.
The topics of "robustness" and "safety" also played a central role in our development: compensating mass systems prevent unintentional movements and displacements of the handle and lock, both when the door is firmly closed and in the event of a crash. This noticeably increases the service life of the locking system and provides the driver with greater safety.
Retractable door handles have been criticised. In the event of an emergency, they can prevent the doors from being opened from the outside. Our door handles have an emergency function. They also extend in the event of a power failure or a crash - either automatically or by touch.
The retractable door handle not only contributes to the modern appearance of the vehicle, but also improves its aerodynamics. When retracted, it significantly reduces aerodynamic drag, which in turn noticeably increases the vehicle's range.
