Abstract: Sandwich panel for use in a vehicle comprising at least a core layer and two fibrous layers in contact with and firmly connected to the core layer, both sides being impregnated with polyurethane whereby the polyurethane is embedding the fibers and binding to the board material, and whereby the sandwich panel further comprises at least a polyether polyurethane foam layer fully impregnated with polyurethane and in contact and firmly connected to the outer surface of at least one fibrous layer by the polyurethane, and a skin layer on the outer surface of the polyether polyurethane foam not in contact with the fibrous layer consisting of compressed polyurethane.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device for at least partially covering a vehicle floor pan of a motor vehicle, comprises a carrier element made at least by a hard foam material, a vibration decoupling element made at least by a soft foam material, a surface layer to visually cover the device from the top, wherein the device has a shield element, which is made at least by a plastic material and is configured for accepting, absorbing and distributing the energy of a localized impact stress, which is applied on the device from above against the shield element. The present invention is also directed to a method for producing the device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a passenger compartment carpet assembly for a vehicle comprising a packing piece (10), a passenger compartment carpet (20) and expandable material (30) injected into a volume present in particular between said packing piece (10) and said passenger compartment carpet (20), the passenger compartment carpet having a lower surface (25) facing towards an upper surface (15) of said packing piece (10). The passenger compartment carpet assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the upper surface (15) of the packing piece (10), when in contact with the lower surface (25) of the passenger compartment carpet (20), includes a first plurality of channels (11) configured in such a way that said channels (11), when injected with expandable material (30), cause the formation of strips of dried expandable material ensuring that the passenger compartment carpet (20) is retained on the packing piece (10).
