Bio-based materials are hitting the road... on the inside of the new KIA EV2. 🚘 From day one, we were sold on Simplifyber’s vision to change how soft goods are made. And now we get to witness another important step on the way... Through the partnership with KIA Motors, the company is bringing its bio-based material innovation to the automotive world. In the newly unveiled concept for the EV2, Simplifyber Fybron™ (a cellulose-based material) is what the vehicle's dashboard and door panels are made of. Because its manufactured with a 3D-molded process, similar to injection molding for plastics, the end result is a durable, ready-to-install component with minimal waste and reduced assembly time. This isn’t just about sustainability, it’s a blueprint for scalable, cost-effective, circular manufacturing. Congrats to Maria Intscher-Owrang, Philip Cohen and the entire team at Simpliyber. #Mobility #Biomaterials #FutureOfManufacturing #MaterialInnovation
We couldn't be more excited to announce our collaboration with Kia Worldwide (KIA) on the company's EV2 concept car! This marks Simplifyber's first foray into the automotive realm, bringing bio-based materials to car interior components that are traditionally made from plastic.

From concept to KIA dashboards. Real-world application is the only proof that matters.
Thank you for the incredible support, At One Ventures!! We absolutely love working with the whole At One team and we're excited to keep building amazing things together!
🤔 Is it just me, or are the seats slanted towards each other? Seems very sociable. 😊 (not sure it's doable, or maybe there are safety-related regulations about front seats having to face forwards?) Anyway, just caught my eye, and I was wondering if someone had put some thought into how to make driving a more communicative experience? At One Ventures Simplifyber Maria Intscher-Owrang
